What is the Common Core Standards? The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a U.S. education initiative that seeks to bring diverse state curricula into alignment with each other by following the principles of standards-based education reform. The initiative is sponsored by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).

The Mathematics Standards include Standards for Mathematical Practice and Standards for Mathematical Content.

Mathematical Practice

The eight principles of mathematical practice are:

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Mathematical Content

Mathematical content is organized in a number of domains.

Domains	Grades
Counting and Cardinality	Kindergarten
Operations and Algebraic Thinking	Kindergarten, Grades 1 - 5
Number and Operations in Base 10	Kindergarten, Grades 1 - 5
Number and Operations & Fractions	Grades 3 - 5
Measurement and Data	Kindergarten, Grades 1 - 5
Geometry	Kindergarten, Grades 1 - 8
The Number System	Grades 6 - 8
Expressions and Equations	Grades 6 - 8
Statistics and Probability	Grades 6 - 8
Ratios & Proportional Relationships	Grades 6 - 7
Functions	Grade 8
