Purpose for the Model Content Frameworks for Mathematics
As part of its proposal to the U.S. Department of Education, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) committed to developing model content frameworks for mathematics to serve as a bridge between the Common Core State Standards and the PARCC assessments.1
The PARCC Model Content Frameworks were developed through a state-led process that included mathematics content experts in PARCC member states and members of the Common Core State Standards writing team. The Model Content Frameworks are voluntary resources offered by PARCC to help curriculum developers and teachers as they work to implement the standards in their states and districts. They are designed with the following purposes in mind:
Supporting implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and
Informing the development of item specifications and blueprints for the PARCC assessments in grades 3–8 and high school.
