## What is Exploring The Core K?

Exploring The Core: Elementary Math is the best way to *see* what is in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Our math app presents all CCSS standards in Mathematics for grades K-8, illustrating each grade-level skill and aligning to show skill development across grade levels.

With this app, teachers and parents can not only read the Common Core State Standards for each grade-level skill, but can also "swipe" to see how each skill develops in and between grade-levels. Searchable Standards and Glossary features eliminate the need for lugging heavy binders of standards and education-specific references around with you.

Created by a teacher for teachers and parents, Exploring The Core: Elementary Math is the perfect tool for anybody wanting to understand the basic skill sets expected in the Common Core State Standards.

This app serves as a reference tool for parents and teachers. It is not a curriculum and is not intended to serve as a primary teaching tool for students.

### 3/5 — Beautiful layout

*2017-01-20*

I love your organization and layout. I was wondering though if there is a way to correlate this to engageny common core (NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS)? Thank you very much

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comment and question. Since each state that adopted CCSS were allowed to include up to 15% more text to clarify or add standards, a 'Select a State' feature to include the 15% of state-specific additional statements and standards for each individual state is planned for future releases. For now, this app accounts for all base standards equal across all CCSS-adopting states.

### 5/5 — What a great app for educators and parents!!!

*2016-08-07*

Finally there is an app that puts all of the common core standards at my fingertips. This app is well thought out and very useful. This is a must-have for educators and parents alike.
