The Common Core Mathematics Companion: The Standards Decoded, Grades K-2: What They Say, What They Mean, How to Teach Them

This book is amazing. I got my teaching license through an ARL program. I didn't know what I didn't know about teaching math to 1st graders. Knowing which aspect of the standards to focus on and the types of questions to ask helped improve my teaching experience and my student's learning experience. I am thinking of purchasing one more to keep in my classroom. One of my math professors vouched for this math companion and he's an excellent math teacher. It was worth it for me.

Helps simplify your lesson plans

This book helped me understand and comprehend the Common Core math requirements for early childhood and early Elementary education.

This is a a huge support to my school community. We use it religiously for planning. I really appreciate being able to look at the progressions of the standards with what that instruction looks like for students and teachers. Additionally, there are key questions, tasks, and exemplars built into the text. This is a guide I wish I had when I was teaching--but glad I have to share with my staff.

This COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS handbook is everything! I’m able to plan so much with it! Great purchase!
