Students Explaining why 7/8 = 87.5% Excellent Student Talk
Hear 6th grade students explain multiple strategies for finding an equivalent percentage to the fraction, 7/8. The teacher uses effective questioning to elicit responses from students.
Congruence and Similarity Using Rigid and Non-Rigid Motions
This is an excerpt from an EXCELLENT website that has numerous lessons for teaching the mathematical standards (content and practice). For the shortened PowerPoint Presentation that shows what it looks like to teach congruence and similarity in the way the CCSS/KCAS intened.

CCSS/KCAS Standards for Mathematical Practice
To reinforce and honor the language of the standards, we have directly correlated the mathematical practice standards to excerpts of mathematics lessons. Just as with content standards, not every lesson reflects all elements of the individual standards for mathematical practice. By representing examples from different classrooms for each standard, we also want to emphasize how many different ways teachers may enact these standards for mathematical practice in their classrooms, with their particular learners. While there is no one "right way," there are multiple examples of successful strategies to launch and sustain these practices. Click the individual standards below to see instances of the practice standards in classroom lessons. Although the practices are presented here individually, it's important to keep in mind that the practices can, and should, be evident together in a lesson. See the Exemplary Lessons Integrating the Standards for Mathematical Practicefor a holistic view of the practices together
Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content
Explore materials and tasks you can use immediately with your students. Inside Mathematics has aligned our tasks and assessment resources with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Content. Note that you can make use of these standards through searching by grade level as well as by progression, so we have provided two routes through these tasks and other resources
Probability and Stats Progression Framework (Grades 6-8)
Developed in December 2011, the Common Core Standards Writing Team developed this companion document to explain, in depth, the progresion from grade 6 to grade 8 of probability and statistics. Click here for the link to more progressions documents
Probability and Stats Progression Document CCSS/KCAS (High School)
