Since the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), many resources have been developed to support its implementation. Below is a list of diverse resources targeting the CCSS, especially those relevant for the Standards for Mathematical Practice. These resources may support a range of activities including curriculum adoption, assessment, classroom observations, etc.

From the Common Core authors

Progressions Documents for the Common Core Math Standards
These narrative documents describe how topics in the Common Core progress throughout the grade levels. Very helpful for vertical alignment!

Illustrative Mathematics
An extensive free library of tasks tagged by individual content standards. Stay tuned; the site is growing to offer different resources.

Achieve the Core
Multiple free classroom and planning resources to support Common Core implementation including coaching tool, planning tool, classroom video, tasks, lesson plans, and assessments. Worth exploring!

Tools for the Common Core Standards
A blog by Bill McCallum, one of the lead authors of the CCSSM. Great place to get updates and insights from an author.
