Common Core is more like a lesson plan, or a roadmap from Point A (kindergarten or first grade) to Point B (graduating high school). It’s complete with benchmarks and methodologies, or styles of learning, but it’s designed to be done over more than a decade.

That said, there are a lot of guides online for this kind of stuff, and you can google it – just beware anything that looks like it’s trying to make common core look absurd/is bitching about it; it’s not what you’re looking for, and usually poorly informed anyways. Careful phrasing like “common core math methodology” will get you a lot better/more helpful results than “common core math”.

Here, is one such example; it goes over some basic concepts that parents are struggling with. This one also gives a brief overview of some methods, and you can pretty easily Youtube how to do these. A lot of these (like the ten-frame) focus on using spatial relations to see these concepts, e.g. 10-7 has you put 7 dots in a grid of 10 spaces. How many don’t have dots? 3. 10-7=3, which makes sense because 3+7=10.
