The mission of the Common Core State Standards is to provide ‘a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them’ and ultimately prepare them for college and careers. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) aim for greater focus and coherence, outlining both content standards by grade level and Standards of Mathematical Practice.

"It's that deep conceptual knowledge that builds a robust and strong understanding of math. It's what helps us become creative problem solvers. And that's a very important 21st century skill."
