True

  • Use the major clusters to inform instructional decisions regarding time and other resources.
  • Evaluate instructional materials taking the cluster-level emphases into account. The major work of the grade must be presented with the highest possible quality; the supporting and additional workof the grade should support the major focus, not detract from it.
  • Allow the focus on the major work of the grade to open up the time and space to bring the Standards for Mathematical Practice to life in mathematics instruction.
  • Not all content in a grade is emphasized equally in the standards.
  • Some clusters require greater emphasis than others based on the depth of the idea, the time they take to master, and/or their importance to future mathematics.

False

  • Some material in the standards isnot important.
  • Sort clusters from major to supporting/additional, and then teach them in that order.
  • It is acceptable to use the cluster headings as a replacement for the standards,they in interchangeable.
  • Cluster headings are there for organizational purposes; they bring no real meaning to the standards.
  • When implementing things such as staff development or revision of existing district or school level assessments the additional and supporting cluster should be the focus for decision-making.
