[quote=Anonymous]Here is a sample test of what will be expected of 4th grade students in math, in a few months, http://parcc.pearson.com/resources/Practice_Tests/Grade_4/Math/PC194818-001_4MTHTB_PT.pdf Some samples: "A team runs a race. There are 4 people on the team. Each person runs the same distance. The team runs a total of 5280 feet." Students need to solve the question (not multiple choice) and aren't allowed to use a calculator. This seems like a pretty sensible question for fourth grade. Can someone who thinks Common Core is developmentally inappropriate look through this test, and tell me which questions seem problematic to you? Personally I like that so many students in 4th grade will be taking the same, sensible test -- kids in MD and MA and NY etc. We will be able to compare results across different states -- that's really what the point of having COMMON standards was.[/quote]
