Mathematics Core Guides

Core guides provide a description of the Core Standards, including concepts and skills to master, critical background knowledge and academic vocabulary. These guides also connect related standards both within and across grade levels or courses.

Major Works

The purpose of this document is to provide a brief overview of the most essential content in the grade level along with a progression of how the content was addressed in the prior grade level and will prepare students for content in the future grade level. This is not a comprehensive list of content in the grade level as defined in the Utah Core Standards, but rather highlights the major work of the grade level.

Assessment

Sample Assessment Items

The Mathematics Core Guides contain sample items for each standard and may be used by teachers as formative assessments. These items are samples of what rigor could look like in the standards and are not meant to be comprehensive or summative assessments.

Grades Kindergarten and Grades 3-11 Assessment Items:

Grades 1-2 Mathematics Assessment Items:

This is the challenge math standards author Jason Zimba responded to in 2019. To meet the challenge, he recruited a team to create Math Milestones.

Math Milestones™ shows the mathematics of each grade level as a set of tasks that fit on one page. Standards and textbooks are dense and extensive, but teachers and students can see the Milestones all at once. The Milestones are a carefully crafted set of tasks that embody the mathematics of each grade, K-8. Each grade's tasks are a visualization of the grade-level standards in the language of teachers and students. These tasks are the foundation for a growing set of resources for purposes such as professional learning, curriculum analysis, assessment innovation, and parent support.

Math Milestones is an initiative of Student Achievement Partners founded by Jason Zimba, John W. Staley, and Elizabeth Meier. Our mission is to empower partners, states, and districts to improve mathematics achievement and strengthen mathematical identity among diverse communities of Black students, English learners, and students in poverty.

Achievethecore.org :: Instructional Content Nav - Mathematics: Focus by Grade Level

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Common Core and other college- and career-ready (CCR) standards call for a greater focus in mathematics. Rather than racing to cover topics in a mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, CCR standards require us to significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy are spent in the math classroom. We focus deeply on the major work of each grade so that students can gain strong foundations: solid conceptual understanding, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the math classroom. The following documents illustrate these concepts using the Common Core State Standards, but Focus, Coherence, and Rigor are integral to all college- and career-ready standards.
