The Balancing Act segment focuses on the recent educational curriculum shift to the Common Core State Standards.  To assist parents in understanding Common Core, Dr. Larson explains both the concept behind the standards as well as how they are implemented in the Big Ideas Math program.

The Common Core State Standards and the Mathematical Practices are ushering in a new way to teach mathematics. We are excited to be part of this movement with our Big Ideas Math series. Thank you to The Balancing Act for having us on your show!

A second airing of the entire The Balancing Act episode will air on June 20, 2012.
