Why Common Core Math?

What is Common Core math? Why do we have it, and why is useful? The Common Core mathematics state standards lay a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. Taken together, these elements support a student’s ability to learn and apply more demanding math concepts and procedures. The middle school and high school standards call on students to practice applying mathematical ways of thinking to real-world issues and challenges. They prepare students to think and reason mathematically. The standards set a rigorous definition of college and career readiness not by piling topic upon topic, but by having students develop a depth of understanding and ability to apply mathematics to novel situations, as college students and employees regularly do. The mathematical progressions presented in the Common Core State Standards are coherent and based on evidence. What is important to keep in mind is that the progression in the Common Core State Standards is mathematically coherent and leads to college and career readiness at an internationally competitive level.
