To aid this effort, our research team has begun to develop tools
that might prove useful in implementing the new standards. These
tools are not the be-all and end-all of reform efforts (and, unfortunately,
these tools will not be available to educators outside our
research projects in the foreseeable future). We describe them
only as an example of the kinds of technologies and strategies
necessary if the CCSS-M are to have a chance to succeed. There
is a tremendous need for innovative thinking about the challenge
of aligning day-to-day mathematics instruction to the CCSS-M.
