In 2010, the National Governor’s Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers published theCommon Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and to date, 44 states, the District of Columbia,and the U.S. Virgin Islands have adopted the document. These content and practice standards, which specify what students are expected to understand and be able to do in K-12 mathematics, represent a significant departure from what mathematics is currently taught in most classrooms and how it is taught.

About this Playbook The Digital Textbook Playbook is a guide to help K-12 educators and administrators advance the conversation toward building a rich digital learning experience. This Playbook offers information about determining broadband infrastructure for schools and classrooms, leveraging home and community broadband to extend the digital learning environment, and understanding necessary device considerations. It also provides lessons learned from school districts that engaged in successful transitions to digital learning.

When first graders seemed to understand symmetry, their teacher gained insight into their individual conceptualizations and the unique sources from which they drew perspectives.

The concept of function spans elementary school through high school. When introducing the topic to elementary school and middle school students, we ask them to work with a variety of examples and representations of functions, since a formal definition of a function is rather abstract. These representations involve experiences in which students—
