We decided to combine the geometric measurement part of the MD Progression with the Geometry Progression (coming soon!). Here is a draft of the data part of the MD Progression (covering both categorical and measurement data): ccss_progression_md_k5_2011_06_20.
We will be releasing a draft of the Fractions progression before the end of June, and the Ratios and Proportional Relationships progression in early July.

The Massachusetts Department of Education has some activities to help teachers understand the focus, coherence, clarity and rigor of the standards. They are called Explorations and you can find them at http://www.doe.mass.edu/candi/commoncore/mathexplore/.
Here’s a short essay by Jason Zimba, Lasting achievements in K–8, that gives an example of a standard occupying a strategic position in the flow of the standards, serving as the culmination of many pathways and as the starting point for many more.
I’m at a meeting of the APLU Science and Mathematics Teacher Imperative, where I was reminded of the 2010 CBMS Forum White Paper on educating teachers for the Common Core, which I think will be useful to people planning teacher preparation and professional development.
Here is the draft progression for the Kindergarten Counting and Cardinality Progression and the K–5 Operations and Algebraic Thinking Progression. It includes some edits to the K–2 progression from the previous version: ccss_progression_cc_oa_k5_2011_05_30. [File updated 6/1/2011.]

We have combined the Kindergarten Counting and Cardinality Progression with the K–5 Operations and Algebraic Thinking Progression. Here is the first half, ccss_progression_cc_oa_K2_2001_05_08, going as far as Grade 2. As usual, comments welcome on this thread. Grades 3–5 will follow soon.

Here is the draft report of the policy workshop Gearing Up for the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, held at the Westward Look resort in Tucson, Arizona on 1–2 April 2011. The workshop convened representatives from state departments of education and school districts, the K–12 community, mathematicians, mathematics educators, professional development deliverers, and policy organizations to develop recommendations for the initial domains of professional development on the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics.

I’ve been meaning to put these up for a while. The tools page now has individual pdfs for each domain in K–8.
I’m pleased to announce the launch of illustrativemathematics.org, site of Illustrative Mathematics. It provides a flexible display of the standards, with the hierarchy expanding or collapsing at a click, and the K–8 standards viewable both by grade level and by domain. Over the next few months we will be adding illustrative tasks and problems linked to the standards.
Here is the draft of the progression on expressions and equations. Comments and suggestions welcome in the comment area of this post.
