This is great site for teachers.  Teachers can visit this site and place their own ideas here for others to use.  You will also find lesson plans here on several different subjects spanning many grade levels.  There is also a link to a section called Power Tools, which are ideas and tips to help you save time and make teaching easier.  The best part about this site is the amount of ideas that are shared on this site.  (James Rowzee)

 
Common Core State Standards for Math
Download the Common Core Here

These Standards define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of mathematics.

Asking a student to understand something means asking a teacher to assess whether the student has understood it. But what does mathematical understanding look like?

One hallmark of mathematical understanding is the ability to justify, in a way appropriate to the student’s mathematical maturity, why a particular mathematical statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes from.

There is a world of difference between a student who can summon a mnemonic device to expand a product such as (a + b)(x + y) and a student who can explain where the mnemonic comes from. The student who can explain the rule understands the mathematics, and may have a better chance to succeed at a less familiar task such as expanding (a + b + c)(x + y).

Mathematical understanding and procedural skill are equally important, and both are assessable using mathematical tasks of sufficient richness.
