DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM INITIATIVES
COMMON CORE ELA ANCHORS
• Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.7 Integrate and
evaluate content presented in diverse media
and formats, including visually and
quantitatively, as well as in words.
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.R.10 Read and
comprehend complex literary and
informational texts independently and
proficiently.
INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND
IDEAS (GRADES 11-12)
• Science and Technical Subjects
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.7 Integrate and evaluate
multiple sources of information presented in diverse
formats and media (e.g., quantitative
data, video, multimedia) in order to address a question or
solve a problem.
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.8 Evaluate the
hypotheses, data, analysis, and conclusions in a science
or technical text, verifying the data when possible and
corroborating or challenging conclusions with other
sources of information.
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.11-12.9 Synthesize information
from a range of sources
(e.g., texts, experiments, simulations) into a coherent
understanding of a process, phenomenon, or
concept, resolving conflicting information when possible.
INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND
IDEAS (GRADES 6-10)
• Science and Technical Subjects
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.6-8.7 Integrate
quantitative or technical information expressed in
words in a text with a version of that information
expressed visually (e.g., in a
flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table).
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RST.9-10.7 Translate
quantitative or technical information expressed in
words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or
chart) and translate information expressed
visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation)
into words.
SPEAKING AND LISTENING
• Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.4 Present
information, findings, and supporting
evidence, conveying a clear and distinct
perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of
reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are
addressed, and the
organization, development, substance, and style are
appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of
formal and informal tasks.
– CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.5 Make strategic use of
digital media
(e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive
elements) in presentations to enhance understanding
of findings, reasoning, and evidence and to add
interest.
COMMON CORE MATH
• Modeling (HS Domain)
• Statistics and Probability (MS)
– Using data samples to draw general
conclusions and identifying patterns.

Notas del editor

  1. These are correlations based solely on the Stock Research Worksheet activity. The Stock Market Game program meets many more of the Common Core Standards in ELA and math.
  2. Common Core College and Career Readiness Anchors. High Common Core Standards in ELA are where correlations to the Stock Market Research Worksheet are particularly evident.
  3. When SMG groups meet the meet Comprehension and Collaboration standards in Speaking and Listening:CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1 Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11–12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1a Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned exchange of ideas.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1b Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decision-making, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1c Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.1d Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives; synthesize comments, claims, and evidence made on all sides of an issue; resolve contradictions when possible; and determine what additional information or research is required to deepen the investigation or complete the task.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.2 Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.11-12.3 Evaluate a speaker’s point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis, and tone used.
  4. High School: Modeling links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, and decision-making. Modeling is the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, to understand them better, and to improve decisions. Quantities and their relationships in physical, economic, public policy, social, and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods. When making mathematical models, technology is valuable for varying assumptions, exploring consequences, and comparing predictions with data. Middle School:CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.A.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.CCSS.Math.Content.8.SP.A.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
  5. The actions involved in playing the Stock Market Game engage many 21st Century Skills. Life and Career Skills: Today’s life and work environments require far more than thinking skills and content knowledge. The ability to navigate the complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age requires students to pay rigorous attention to developing adequate life and career skills.Learning and Innovation Skills: Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as the skills that separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the future. Information, Media and Technology Skills: People in the 21st century live in a technology and media-suffused environment, marked by various characteristics, including: 1) access to an abundance of information, 2) rapid changes in technology tools, and 3) the ability to collaborate and make individual contributions on an unprecedented scale. To be effective in the 21st century, citizens and workers must be able to exhibit a range of functional and critical thinking skills related to information, media and technology.Core Subjects: Mastery of core subjects and 21st century themes is essential for students in the 21st century. Core subjects include: ELA, Math, Economics, History, Government and Civics. In addition to these subjects, we believe schools must move beyond a focus on basic competency in core subjects to promoting understanding of academic content at much higher levels by weaving 21st century interdisciplinary themes into core subjects: Global awareness, Financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and Civic literacy
