The state of Indiana did a lot of work to align the CCSS Math/ELA Standards. Broke down standards into learning targets then sequenced them into quarters. Every quarter includes Sample Big Ideas and Essential Questions. Here's the link: http://indianadoe.buildyourowncurriculum.com/public/course_search.aspx
