CeMaST has partnered with TPS Publishing to distribute the Creative Core Curriculum program. This is available for both mathematics and science.

Both the mathematics and science Creative Core Curriculum programs consist of a series of lessons and practice sheets that specifically address Common Core Standards for Mathematics or Next Generation Science Standards grades K-5. Both programs also include correlated lessons utilizing crafting activities, specific materials for linguistically diverse and differently abled students, and an extensive assessment database. CeMaST contributed STEM projects addressing each standard and provides professional development for all of the Creative Core Curriculum materials.

The STEM project books provide ideas and instructions for several projects specifically designed to teach and apply specific standards. Students to work in groups to solve problems as they design and build products. All activities are written in a learning cycle format that requires application of the Mathematical Practices and Science and Engineering Practices as defined by the standards.
