With more than 45 states now having adopted the Common Core State Standards, many minds are at work developing resources to assist educators as they transition to the CCSS. The documents on this page were developed by other CCSS states to assist their teachers in more deeply understanding the standards. These grade-level documents "deconstruct" the standards, one standard at a time, providing explanations of what students should know, understand, and be able to do.
