XP Math--Free Math Games!
The Wilson Math department has been absolutely AMAZING in regards to Common Core! They have already worked hard to incorporate more projects and real-life examples into their curriculum.
Today, while browsing the web, I stumbled across XP Math.

The games look really cool!

Check out our Awesome Math Department!!
The Algebra 2 teachers have taken real-life applications HEAD ON into their instruction and found an awesome project to demonstrate quadratic functions!
Here is the project they are doing!
What an awesome way to build connections to games that our students enjoy! All the while, discussing Math!!
We should be incredibly proud of all the great work our departments are doing to integrate Common Core. I know that at times, it can feel very difficult, but the passion and dedication of this staff is truly inspiring!
Great work, Math!

Math!
Here is a great website that really relates math to Real life concepts.
However, I do want to assume that there is NO RISK to eating bacon sandwiches. Because...yum.
There is also a fabulous section on cross curriculars!

Achieve the Core!
In case you haven't noticed, there are SO MANY resources out in the intrawebs that we can use to implement Common Core. In fact, there are too many to properly share! But we are trying our best to bring you as many as we can!
Achieve the Core is another fabulous website full of complete and comprehensive lesson plans/guides for teachers to use for FREE.
Simply specify your position and grade level, and Achieve the core will lead you to a ton of great information.
For instance, I just downloaded a 22-page unit on close reading a piece by Frederick Douglass. It goes step by step, and shows me exactly what to do over a series of days within my classroom. It's awesome!

Edutopia
Edutopia is an awesome website ran by The George Lucas Educational Foundation (I mean, does it get any cooler than that?!)
It is a wealth of educationally related resources, videos, blogs, and exemplary schools. It even has resources on SEL curriculum, Project-based learning and technology integration!
Right below the main header, you can click Common Core Resources and it will direct you to solely common core stuff.
Just playing around for a few minutes, I found a link to 21 common core aligned Math apps!
Math (and everyone) resource!
There are so many great websites out there where talented teachers are sharing what they are doing!
Sharemylesson.com is a great place to find pre-written lesson plans.
Here is a subsection of the website devoted to Common Core Math Lessons
