Common Core Math Standards (CCSS)

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics set out what students should understand and be able to do in math from kindergarten through high school. Kindergarten to grade 8 standards are organized by grade; high school standards are organized by conceptual category.

Standards for Mathematical Practice

Eight habits of mind, like making sense of problems and constructing arguments, that apply at every grade.

• MP1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
• MP2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
• MP3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
• MP4 Model with mathematics.
• MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
• MP6 Attend to precision.
• MP7 Look for and make use of structure.
• MP8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Which states use the Common Core Math Standards (CCSS)?

Most US states adopted the Common Core in 2010–2011. Several have since revised or renamed their standards (New York's Next Generation Learning Standards, for example), but most state math standards still follow the Common Core's structure.
