Content Standards

             This blog is all about the content standards project. I will be discussing a couple of points regarding this project. The first area I will be discussing if when looking at my area from a K-8 stand point, are the standards covered enough throughout the curriculum. The answer to this question is no. As I was looking through the content standards that my other group members turned in, I noticed from third grade on to eighth that there seemed to be a lot of standards either not addressed or not even covered in the textbooks. This will certainly need to change if we want our standards to be covered efficiently. This also shows that we as teachers need to be taking the initiative to make sure we know the standards ourselves so that we can make sure that we cover the standards that are nit being covered to satisfaction.
                 For my particular area, all of the standards were covered in the textbooks. This shows me that I need to make sure that these are utilized to the fullest because of the fact that they are covered so well in the textbooks. I was also surprised that because mine were covered so well that grades three through eight were not covered as well. This whole project has taught me that each textbook in mathematics that is used by teachers will need to be looked at to see what standards need to be covered more or addressed if they are not addressed.
