Presentation of Florida's Mathematics Standards. This presentation by the Florida Department of Education's Office of Math and Science includes overviews and examples of Florida's new math standards, the process standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the proficiency strands set forth by the National Research Council (NRC), and a description of Webb's levels of cognitive complexity. All of these research-based elements, when interwoven into classroom practice, can result in high-quality teaching and learning of mathematics. Each of the elements introduced in this presentation can be understood in more depth with the resources found below.

Crosswalk between 1996 standards and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards
http://www.fldoestem.org/page364.aspx

The Florida Department of Education’s Office of Math & Science website features resources for teachers, students, school districts, researchers, and policy makers.  Here you can find the latest on the Florida Standards and a collection of quality resources to help implement the standards for math and science.  Teachers can also find a collection of helpful and supportive associations, some of which also provide resources and lesson plans.  Importantly, teachers will find collections of award and professional development programs and grant opportunities to honor and support teachers.  Teachers should also visit the resources for school districts to find programs and opportunities in which they might encourage their school and district leaders to become active.

• Fourth and Second Grade Mathematics Sunshine State Standards-Based Pacing Guides, Curriculum Maps (not textbook specific), and Scope and Sequence (textbook based)
  Provided by Lake County School District, FL
  
  The curriculum maps include essential questions, content and understanding, skills, benchmarks, and assessments (including ideas for formal and informal) for each Unit of the pacing guide. An appendix includes a textbook-based scope and sequence. The final section is a copy of the Sunshine State Standards for Fourth and Second Grade Mathematics, respectively. These documents are drafts that will be distributed to teachers for use in the 2008-2009 academic year. They can make great template for others to work from. Revisions will be made as feedback from teachers is received. We’ll keep you updated.
