The NC Department of Public instruction has created a set of documents for grade level called "Unpacking the Standards." One extremely helpful part of each document is the chart of Mathematical Practices that specifies how those standards look at that particular grade level. The Standards for Mathematical Practice can be found starting on page 3 of each document below:

• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Kindergarten
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - First Grade
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Second Grade
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Third Grade
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Fourth Grade
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Fifth Grade
• Unpacking the Math Common Core - Sixth Grade
