Use of Technology in Math
4. Tech-Readiness
Reading and Writing Standards
◦ With guidance and support from adults, explore
a variety of digital tools to produce and
publish writing, including in collaboration with
peers. (W.K.6)
◦ Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of
using different mediums (e.g., print or
digital text, video, multimedia) to present a
particular topic or idea. (RI.8. 7)
5. Tech-Readiness
Math Standards
◦ 5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
Mathematically proficient students consider the
available tools when solving a mathematical
problem. These tools might include pencil and
paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a
calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer
algebra system, a statistical package, or
dynamic geometry software….
6. Spiraling Skills
Common Core Skills Spiral throughout the
Grade Levels
◦ Standards work toward building skills through
each grade level.
◦ Allows students to take steps in learning
technology along the way.
◦ Each year builds upon previous knowledge and
skills…

The standards don’t actually refer to specific tools that students need to use, rather they focus on college and career readiness and skills students will need. As a result, they tend to lean toward what students need to be able to do, rather than how to use a certain tool. How you guide students along the path to those skills is up to you.
As you look through the standards, the big difference you can see in comparison to the PASS standards is the infusing of technology. Common core focuses on increased use of media through creating or recording a document, or using digital text and media to learn about a new concept. The internet plays a greater role as students are tasked with utilizing the web to research or publish material.Web 2.0 Tools will become of greater importance as teachers can rely on these free tools to fit the need for writing and publishing. Technology in math is nothing necessarily new, but a greater emphasis is now placed on utilizing internet resources to plot, graph, and analyze data, as well as the use of calculators to produce the same.
As these standards show, these are examples of the use of technology that will be expected as we teach our students. Focus on digital tools, use of digital text, video, multimedia.
As well as an emphasis on technology, we find that the skills our kids will learn are built upon each year they move forward. These spiraled skills enable students to use technology using baby steps along the way. As they do, they will build upon previous skills.
You can see how this works as you look at the same standard at each grade level. Here we look at the Literacy and Writing standard 6 for Kindergarten
The same standard for grade 1
And again for grade 3
And 7
In addition to spiraled skills, you may have noticed that the verbiage used in the standards emphasizes upward movement along blooms taxonomy.
