To All Educators: Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your students.

Unfortunately, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has demanded that this website be taken offline, citing "copyright infringement."
If this has disrupted your links, lesson plans, student supports, citations, or access to essential resources, please feel free to reach out to them.
Rather than maintaining a user-friendly website, CCSSO has provided PDFs for the Common Core State Standards.
These files, while non-searchable and difficult to navigate, are now the only available resources:

Math: https://corestandards.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Math_Standards1.pdf
