Common Core State Standards
The Common Core State Standards are a set of clear, consistent goals for what students should learn in math and English at each grade level across the U.S. They were created to make sure all students, no matter where they live, are prepared for college, careers, and life. For example, they focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and understanding concepts deeply, not just memorizing facts. In short, they’re about raising the bar and making sure every student gets a high-quality education.
