Common Core Materials
By now, I hope you all know that we have created 12 workbooks full of common core activities, lessons, worksheets, and assessments. We have the 6 grade level workbooks from K-5. We also have the 6 grade level assessment workbooks from K-5. But, what if you don’t want to spend $20 on up to get some materials for your lessons? Everyone has their own teaching style, and maybe you don’t need a huge book of resources. Maybe you’re the person who likes to pick and choose what you get. You’re the build-your-own combo kinda person.
Well, we offer a good deal of our materials for sale on TeachersPayTeachers in individual lessons. Maybe you need a Main Ideas and Details skill lesson. It could be for your classroom, you might be tutoring, or maybe your kids at home need a little extra boost. You don’t need the whole workbook. You can get one lesson at a time, most for only a dollar or two! Pick and choose and get what the common core materials you need.
Common Core Assessment Templates
Or, if it’s not lessons you’re needing so much as make-your-own worksheets, quizzes, and lesson plan templates, you can check out Common Core Assessment Templates, made by Have Fun Teaching’s own Andrew Frinkle. There are 175 templates you can use to make your own writing, language, math, matching, graphic organizer, and primary worksheets or quizzes!

Common Core Lessons
Common Core doesn’t have to be all heartache and headache! Yes, trying to come up with new lesson ideas or even re-aligning your favorite old lessons to the new sets of standards isn’t any fun, but there are resources out there that let you keep teaching without reinventing the wheel. We all have favorite lessons that we are GOING to teach because they make us happy, giving us that little corner of our educational world where we are happiest. Those ones we’re going to tweak and fix and justify with their alignment to standards. What about the rest of the day, the week, or the year? What common core lessons are you going to teach?
We have ready-made frustration-free common core materials for 5 minutes or 50 minutes! We have developed a whole series of grade-level appropriate centers, worksheets, and activities. These can be your bell-ringers. These can be your supplementary materials. These could be your pre-and-post tests. These can be your differentiated instruction materials. You can fit them into your day. That’s the beauty of it.
Teach what you need to, but do it YOUR way. Don’t like a page? Don’t use it. Have ideas to extend the lessons and connect them to other subjects? Great! Do it how you need for your students.

What is Common Core?
The Common Core Standards can be confusing, frustrating, and stressful for teachers, parents, and even the kids. Nearly every state in the country is adopting the common core standards in one fashion or another, but what is common core really?
Common Core is a set of standards designed to make sure that students are receiving a similar education no matter where they live. Previously, certain skills might be taught in one state at different grade level than in another. Students who move from city to city, county to county, or state to state might all be at very different levels because of what was taught and when it was taught! This made for a very uneven testing field.
To combat this, most every state has adapted a common group of core skills that students should learn at age and developmentally-appropriate grade levels. So, a student that lives in one state should be learning similar materials, if perhaps in a different method, than one living in another state. This still leaves room for teacher creativity and regional differences, but the same basic concepts are taught universally.
Read below for more specific details on what standards are being taught at each grade level and how they are organized.
There are 6 Domains for the Common Core English and Language Arts. Each Domain has many standards for each grade level. These Domains are:
- Reading: Literature
- Reading: Informational Text
- Reading: Foundational Skills
- Writing
- Speaking and Listening
- Language
There are 6 Domains for the Common Core Math. Each Domain has many standards for each grade level. These Domains are:
- Counting and Cardinality
- Operations and Algebraic Thinking
- Number and Operations in Base Ten
- Number and Operations – Fractions
- Measurement and Data
- Geometry
Each Grade Level has specific Common Core Standards for Math and English Language Arts that students must learn throughout the school year. In other words, the Common Core is basically, “What your students should learn by the end of the school year.” Use these links to learn more about your child’s Grade Level Common Core Standards in Math and English: Kindergarten Standards, First Grade Standards, Second Grade Standards, Third Grade Standards, Fourth Grade Standards, Fifth Grade Standards.
