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.

Here are my my slides for the NCTM presentation on the Common Core. Zalman Usiskin also presented, and I believe he is willing to send you his slides if you send him an email. You can watch a webcast here.
Bill Bush sent me this Overview of the Mathematics Curriculum Analysis Project. Funded by the Brookhill Foundation and Texas Instruments and supported by the Council of Chief State School Officers, the project aims to provide a set of mathematics curriculum analysis tools that will allow K–12 textbook adoption committees, school administrators, and K–12 teachers to analyze mathematics curriculum materials with regard to their alignment to the Common Core.
Here are the slides from the panel that Phil Daro and I gave at NCSM yesterday: Phil’s slides, my slides.
Here is the first public draft of the progressions project, on Number and Operations in Base Ten [corrected version uploaded 26 May 2012]. We welcome any comments or suggested changes, which will be considered for the final draft. Please post comments to this thread. We will be releasing other draft progressions for elementary and middle school over the coming weeks.

Included in the Common Core are eight standards for “mathematical practice”
that describe habits of mind employed by proficient users of mathematics.
Understanding and implementing the mathematical practices will be key to the
impact of the CCSS. The Implementing the Common Core Standards Workshop will
provide an introduction to the Common Core Standards for Mathematical
Practice, with an emphasis on algebra. Specifically, we will examine
standards MP2 (reason abstractly and quantitatively), MP7 (look for and
make use of structure), and MP8 (look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning), with examples of how these practices can bring coherence to
seemingly disconnected standard topics in elementary, middle and high school
mathematics.
