OPI Math Ed Wiki: http://opi.mt.gov/groups/mathed/
      Critical Areas At-A-Glance: (even High School--but not by course)

     How aligned is your textbook?  (Achievethecore evaluation docs)
**Print your grade level from these 2 documents
(20-60 pages each)--Great teacher ideas/activities and student ideas and questions!! Plus, the practices by grade level! Just keep them in your curriculum binder and review them before you teach a new standard.
~~New Link to the Curriculum Organizers Folder, both MT and NC~~
     The Montana Mathematics Grade Level Curriculum Organizers - more teacher examples     Explanations and Examples of Math Standards (NC) - more student examples

Resources organized by Math Practices:
Math Practices Posters by grade band:  (K-1),(2-3), (4-5), (6) (from Jordan  School District, UT)
Want to see what the practices look like in action?  Some nice classroom videos:  www.teachingchannel.org

Utah's online high school math curriculum--complete with teacher resources now:  www.mathematicsvisionproject.org 

Common Core strategies grades 5-8:  Zeroing in on Number and Operations-Grades 5-6Zeroing in on Numbers and Operations-Grades 7-8

A decent start--book with some ideas. Some still lower level thinking.


Illustrative Mathematics--adding content for HS, some nice standards explanations for right now:  https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/blueprints/A1
