Sure, that’s a program that was devised in some states to increase math proficiency and prevent “the achievement gap” among students.  Do you want more details, or are you asking about how you would use it in particular?

I would sure love more details about its origins and "the achievement gap" you spoke of?
user
Sure, I can tell you all about those.  As I understand it, the idea of Common Core is to create an educational program that can be followed throughout the country, without variations, and without the curriculum adapting to what the teacher might want to teach instead of what the students need to learn.

Great. What about the achievement?
