About the Math Standards

These are the same across all grades.
1. Process
2. Number & Operations
3. Algebra
4. Geometry & Measurement
5. Data Analysis, Probability, and Statistics

GLE/CLE (Grade/Course Level Expectations): represent the fundamental goals for student learning that are used by teachers as the principal guide for instructional planning in that grade/course. These are the instructional targets for that grade/course. (GLEs are used in K–8; CLEs are used in Grades 9–12.)

Checks for Understanding: are suggestions for assessing student learning. These formative/summative checks provide information about whether a student has met a particular Grade or Course Level Expectation. Formative assessments are typically embedded within a lesson. (Checks for Understanding are denoted by the checkmark symbol (√).)

SPI (State Performance Indicators): are the basis for student accountability and are used by the state to prepare standardized test items aligned with corresponding Grade or Course Level Expectations. SPIs are not instructional targets. (There are no SPIs in Grades K–2.)

Process Standard – connected to NCTM process standards. Embeds communication, proof, reasoning, historical development of mathematics, and modeling into one standard. GLEs are same across K–8 grade bands, but the checks for understanding and SPIs differ.

UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS

Unique Identifiers are assigned to every GLE/CLE, Check for Understanding, and SPI to
ensure specificity when referencing a section of the Framework.  In Grades K–8, the first two digits in the numerical code represent the grade level, while the  second two digits represent the subject. The subject code for mathematics is 06. The next digit
represents the mathematics standard being referenced, and the last digit refers to the location of  the GLE, check, or SPI in the list (i.e., 1 indicates the item referenced is the first listed).

In Grades 9–12, the first four digits in the numerical code represent the mathematics course code as assigned by the State Department of Education. The next digit represents the mathematics standard being referenced, and the last digit refers to the location of the CLE, check, or SPI in the list (i.e., 1 indicates the item referenced is the first listed).

Course Codes:
Algebra 1: 3102
Algebra 2: 3103
Geometry: 3108
