COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
MISSION STATEMENT: • The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear
understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Pre CCSSSample Math question
A baseball team had $1,000 to spend on supplies. The team spent $185 on a new bat. New baseballs cost $4 each. The inequality 185 + 4b ≤ 1,000 can be used to determine the number of new baseballs (b) that the team can purchase. Which statement about the number of new baseballs that can be purchased is true?
• A. The team can purchase 204 new baseballs.• B. The minimum number of new baseballs that can be purchased is 185.• C. The maximum number of new baseballs that can be purchased is 185.• D. The team can purchase 185 new baseballs, but this number is neither the
maximum nor the minimum.
