Common Core State Standards Resource Collections
[|Math Common Core Resources] The Mathematics Common Core Coalition works to provide expertise and advice on issues related to the effective implementation of the Common Core State Standards for School Mathematics (CCSSM). Members of the coalition are: the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM), the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE), the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics (ASSM), the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the National Governors Association (NGA), the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium, and the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC).

[|Illustrative Mathematics] Currently this website lists the standards by domain. Here is the goal of the website from its home page: //The Illustrative Mathematics Project will provide guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and by publishing other tools that support implementation of the standards.// //This website is currently under construction. On completion, it will provide a process for submitting, discussing, reviewing, and publishing tasks. It will also display the standards in multiple views and provide easy access to tasks associated with individual standards and tasks associated with higher order structures in the standards.//

Implementation
[|Implementing the More Challenging Aspects of Common Core State Standards] Presentation by Diane Briars to the [|National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics], April 2011

At the state meeting last week several of you asked me to forward links to common core resources that I am using with teachers, professional learning groups, and schools. I have found that Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and New York have really good things to help teachers grasp both the content and process of the CCSS. Friday, I happened upon a resource from Kalamazoo, Michigan that actually has many of those resources and more in a “Live Binder” that is accessible to anyone. The link below takes you directly to that resource. You might also want to register to receive their blog by email. That’s how I learned about this resources. It’s called Minds on Mathematics.

Bill McCallum’s math blog has links to videos (a total of about 14) that explain the rationale behind the development of the standards. They are from two to four minutes and are helpful for getting the big picture. There are also links to the progressions and those are updated from time to time as new work is completed.

From the Georgia Department of Education, look at the unpacking of the Practice Standards. They have them written according to grade level (ie…in Kindergarten, you would see students….)

Since New York is a Race to the Top participant, they started last year developing professional development related to implementation of the Common Core. One cool thing they did was to develop tasks for each grade level along with a rubric for evaluating the task. Those tasks were then used to help train teachers to recognize a real math task from an “activity” or procedural practice. The link below should take you to those tasks. There are some other interesting things related to the core on the New York site.
