Common Core Math for K-12

Common Core math standards were developed to provide a clear and consistent understanding of math concepts for students across the United States. These standards focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world applications. In this blog, we will explore several Common Core math examples to help students and parents better understand the concepts and skills required at each grade level.

Grade 1:

In grade 1, students develop their understanding of numbers and operations through various activities. For example, they learn about place value by representing two-digit numbers with base-ten blocks. Students also practice addition and subtraction within 20 using strategies like counting on and making ten. An example problem could be: "Ben has 14 apples. He ate 8 of them. How many apples does Ben have now?"
