All rights reserved. commoncore.org NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM A Story of Units Key Points: 8 A Story of Units is being written in alignment with the Instructional Shifts required by the CCLS. All standards for each grade have been carefully included in the module sequence. The P-5 modules are designed with deliberate coherence to capitalize on the learning progressions that are embedded in the CCLS. The activities promote a careful balance of fluency practice, conceptual understanding, and application, which aligns with the instructional shift, rigor.
