Instructional Families

Instructional Families are a visual representation of the areas of curricular emphasis within and accross grade bands, the graphics facilitate perception of related content. The Instructional Families are grouped into the Learning Progressions Framework strands and reference the related Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for each Core Content Connector (CCC). The CCCs (grade-specific knowledge, skills and abilities) are organized into Instructional Families based on the content students are expected to learn.

The Instructional Families in Mathematics are presented in three different views:

1. By grade and Learning Progression targets: table of Learning Progression Framework targets for specific strands and grade bands, instructional families color-coded accross the grade bands

2. By grade and CCCs: columnar presentation of CCCs by LPF learning targets, broken out into grade levels, CCCs cross-referenced to related CCSS

3. By Instructional Family and CCCs: columnar presentation of instructional families with references to the related CCSS domain. The CCCs are arranged within each Instructional Family in a vertical ascending progression accross grades.
