Everyday mathematic and the standard for mathematical practice
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) includes both Content Standards and Standards for Mathematical Practice. The Content Standards specify skills and understandings that students should develop at each grade, whereas the Standards for Mathematical Practice identify "processes and proficiencies" that students should develop throughout their mathematical education at all levels, K-12 (CCSS-M, page 6).
The processes and proficiencies in the CCSS-M Standards for Mathematical Practice are at the core of Everyday Mathematics. From the beginning, Everyday Mathematics has approached mathematics through applications, modeling, and problem solving. The program has always stressed multiple representations, communication, tools, mathematical reasoning, and making sense of concepts and procedures. Therefore, the eight CCSS-M Standards for Mathematical Practice are inherent in Everyday Mathematics.
The CCSS edition of Everyday Mathematics has thus given us a welcome opportunity to highlight processes that have always been central to Everyday Mathematics. For this edition, we have taken the CCSS-M Standards for Mathematical Practice and operationalized them as explicit goals that fit into our overall goal framework. These Everyday Mathematics Goals for Mathematical Practice succinctly convey the key ideas in the CCSS-M Standards for Mathematical Practice. They are designed to help teachers make sense of the CCSS-M practice standards and to better focus their instruction on these important standards.
