Share My Lesson

Share My Lesson has thousands of teacher created resources for grades 1-8.  You can create a user name and save them in the Share My Lesson site, save searches you have done, or share lessons you have created.  You can view them by topic (common core domains), format or even the type of lesson you're looking for (worksheet, game tutorial...)

Got this very helpful document from the Common Core Math Library I posted earlier.  This will be SUPER helpful for planning this year!

Math is Fun

This is a wonderful site for supporting concepts that kids may not have understood in class, or were absent.  The site walks through concepts in a tutorial fashion and provides a few practice problems as well.  It's not common core aligned, but is a great resource.
