Common Core State Standards
|
Each Grade Level is full of resources for every individual standard. Students can take control of their own learning by clicking on the page with the standard number, and choosing their own resource to practice that skill!
It's hard to find sites that have math standards examples that follow the specific criteria, but they're here! Click on your Grade Level to find Math Standard Resources and learning tools.
|
| Every month we are going to feature a different, and hopefully FREE, iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application. Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
In keeping with the Winter theme, we are featuring Winter Survival Kit. This app gives you instructions and information as to the nearest gas stations, what to do with your car if you are stranded, and how to alert authorities and family. Compatible wtih iPhone, iPod, and iPad OS 4.0 or later.
