Case Study:
Why a partnership between Pearson and the
Hamilton Co OH ESC?

“We did not have the time or
staff to create all of the
Common core PD needed by
our school districts. But
Pearson did.”
– Bill Sears, Director
Hamilton County (Ohio)
Educational Service Center
4
Continua of Common Core & CCR Service
“But it was Hamilton County that has
the strong district and school
relationships, and the experienced
trainers who know first-hand the
challenges their customers face.”
– Jeff Ikler
Senior Vice President
Pearson Professional Development

“When discussions about the Common Core first
started, everyone spoke about the concept of increased
rigor. We quickly realized it was critical for everyone
to have the same thorough understanding of rigor.
Naturally we turned to Bill Sears and the Hamilton
County ESC.”

HCESC had the staff

New standards
and new assessments
The deeper implications of
the standards are all about
“performance” — new practices
Consider the following situations:
Sam has 33 toy cars. He wants to give an equal number to each of his
6 best friends. How many cars should he give to each friend?
Ellen has 33 apples. She wants to use all of her apples to make 6
apples pies. How many apples can she use for each pie?
Thirty-three children want to ride the roller coaster. Each car holds 6
children. How many cars do they need?
Thirty-three children want to run in a relay race. There will be exactly
6 people on each team. How many children will not be on a team?
Maria says these are all division problems. Darrell says they
are not because they all have different answers. Who is
correct? Use mathematics to support your statement.
Consider the following situations:
Sam has 33 toy cars. He wants to give an equal number to each of his 6 best
friends. How many cars should he give to each friend?
Sam would give each friend five cars and keep three for himself.
33 ÷ 6= 5 remainder 3
Ellen has 33 apples. She wants to use all of her apples to make 6 apples pies.
How many apples can she use for each pie?
Ellen would use five and a half apples in each pie. 33 ÷ 6= 5 ½
Thirty-three children want to ride the roller coaster. Each car holds 6 children.
How many cars do they need?
They will need six cars, but one car will be half full.
33 ÷ 6= 5 ½ rounded to 6
Thirty-three children want to run in a relay race. There will be exactly 6
people on each team. How many children will not be on a team?
Three children will not be on a team. 33 ÷ 6= 5 remainder 3
Maria is correct because all four problems use the expression 33 ÷ 6
which represents a division situation.
