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 honor of Music In Our Schools Month we're featuring Music Instruments by Tidels. This free app lets you hear music from many different instruments. See if you can identify the sound. Compatible with iPhone, iPod, and iPad OS 3.2.2 or later.
