For over a decade, research studies of mathematics education in high-performing countries have pointed to the conclusion that the mathematics curriculum in the United States must become substantially more focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement in this country. To deliver on the promise of common standards, the standards must address the problem of a curriculum that is “a mile wide and an inch deep.” These Standards are a substantial answer to that challenge.

The Common Core State Standards in mathematics (CCSS-M) were built on progressions. Narrative documents describing the progression of a topic across a number of grade levels, informed both by research on children's cognitive development and by the logical structure of mathematics can be found at the link below.

The CCSS-M include eight mathematical practices which describe the thinking skills specific to mathematics. The following graphic represents a grouping of the eight mathematical practices.

The Illustrative Mathematics Project will provide guidance 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.

The Hunt Institute produced videos featuring the lead writers describing various design features of the standards.
