Scoring the Problem Solving

What do you know about CCSSM? How were the standards developed and by whom? Where did they start – top or bottom? What are learning progressions? What’s the big deal about the Math Practices? How does the content spiral? What is SBAC? What websites are most informative? With all of the conflicting “exemplars” – which

sites can be relied on?
