Curriculum and Scope and Sequence:
Suggested Scope and Sequence
Publishers' Criteria for the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, Grades K-8 -
Appendix A: Designing High School Mathematics Courses Based on the Common Core State Standards
Ohio Model Curriculum
Sample Algebra 1 Curriculum
Walch integrated materials
Sample Assessment Questions
- Smarter Balanced Assessment examples. This is a large file to download, but if you want to see the beginning of the creation of these assessments it is worth your time and computer "space". Be sure to scroll down to mathematics, it is near the bottom of the page.
- Smarter Balanced Interactive Sample Problems. This gives a great view of how the problems may look on the computers and how technology will enhance the assessments.
- Illustrative Mathematics has been updated. If you have not been there lately, they have added tasks for almost every standard. This is a great place to start, and I use their ideas in my own assessments.
- Race to the Top Assessments created with Smarter Balanced give us an idea of what the test may look like.
- The sample assessments put out by the NYSED only goes up through eighth grade. But I will be teaching some of the Common Core seventh and eighth grade standards until the transition is done in our district. This is also a great way to stay up on what our students "should" be able to do when they enter ninth grade.
- MAP Tests for College & Career Readiness There are six different examples for high school. Again, this may be a preview of what the test looks like.
- Warren County Public Schools has created sample assessment items for each standard.
- ISBE Assessment Tasks (older but still of same nature)
Sample Performance Tasks
- This is a wonderful collection of performance tasks to get started with. Balanced Assessment is a collection of tasks created by the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
- 101questions is a great site for peeking student interest in questions that they come up with themselves. This was started by Dan Meyer. 101qs is very powerful and I would encourage you to try this in your classroom. This is an extension of 3 acts, you may want to start there.
- PARCC aligned interactive tasks from CCSSToolbox. Online interactive questions that will help you understand which direction the writers are heading in...
- Another great resource is Map Assessment Tasks. These tasks are written as formative assessments. They come complete with lesson plans, leading questions, scoring rubrics, and sample student works.
- This set of practice tasks can be found on the CCSS Toolbox website under the standards for mathematical practice tab. These assessments are aligned with CCSS and I find the accompanying notes helpful.
- Howard County Public Schools has created an amazing collection of tasks and questions assigned to standards.

Key Math Concepts Search Tool from Pearson - Select the (K-8) 'key mathematical concept' from the drop-down menu (and hit Go). Standards related to that concept are listed. This link can be coupled with the next resource.
CCSSmath.org Resources - Search by standard! Click the grade level or HS conceptual category, then click the standard, and you are take to a list of activities for that standard. Activities come from Dan Meyer, MAP, NCTM, IXL, Texas Instruments, and more. Very nice
