Wonderful math curriculum guides by Engage NY (New York) and Common Core
Engage ny
These learning modules for grades K-12 are wonderful! Lessons include a fluency practice (called a "sprint"), lesson development with sides notes for good instruction, an exit ticket, and sometimes a homework assignment. Great lessons, great instruction for developing conceptual understanding, without forgetting about fluency!
