Introduction
In 2015, New York State (NYS) began a process of review and revision of its current mathematics standards adopted in January of 2011. Through numerous phases of public
comment, virtual and face-to-face meetings with committees consisting of NYS educators (Special Education, Bilingual Education and English as a New Language teachers),
parents, curriculum specialists, school administrators, college professors, and experts in cognitive research, the New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning
Standards (2017) were developed. These revised standards reflect the collaborative efforts and expertise of all constituents involved.
The New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017) reflect revisions, additions, vertical movement, and clarifications to the current mathematics
standards. The Standards are defined as the knowledge, skills and understanding that individuals can and do habitually demonstrate over time because of instruction and
learning experiences. These mathematics standards, collectively, are focused and cohesivedesigned to support student access to the knowledge and understanding of the
mathematical concepts that are necessary to function in a world very dependent upon the application of mathematics, while providing educators the opportunity to devise
innovative programs to support this endeavor. As with any set of standards, they need to be rigorous; they need to demand a balance of conceptual understanding, procedural
fluency and application and represent a significant level of achievement in mathematics that will enable students to successfully transition to post-secondary education and
the workforce.
Context for Revision of the NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017)
Changing expectations for mathematics achievement
Today’s children are growing up in a world very different from the one even 15 years ago. Seismic changes in the labor market mean that we are living and working in a
knowledge-based economyone that demands advanced literacy and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills, whether for application in the private
or public sector. Today, information moves through media at lightning speeds and is accessible in ways that are unprecedented; technology has eliminated many jobs while
changing and creating others, especially those involving mathematical and conceptual reasoning skills. One characteristic of these fast-growing segment of jobs is that the
employee needs to be able to solve unstructured problems while working with others in teams. At the same time, migration and immigration rates around the world bring
diversity to schools and neighborhoods. The exponential growth in interactions and information sharing from around the world means there is much to process, communicate,
analyze and respond to in the everyday, across all settings. For a great majority of jobs, conceptual reasoning and technical writing skills are integral parts to the daily routine.
To prepare students for the changes in the way we live and work, and to be sure that our education system keeps pace with what it means to be mathematically literate and
what it means to collaboratively problem solve, we need a different approach to daily teaching and learning. We need content-rich standards that will serve as a platform for
advancing children’s 21
st
-century mathematical skills their abstract reasoning, their collaboration skills, their ability to learn from peers and through technology, and their
flexibility as a learner in a dynamic learning environment. Students need to be engaged in dialogue and learning experiences that allow complex topics and ideas to be
explored from many angles and perspectives. They also need to learn how to think and solve problems for which there is no one solutionand learn mathematical skills along
the way.
Increasingly Diverse Learner Populations
The need for a deeper, more innovative approach to mathematics teaching comes at a time when the system is already charged with building up language skills among the
increasingly diverse population. Students who are English Language Learners (ELLs)/Multilingual Learners (MLLs) now comprise over 20% of the school-age population, which
reflects significant growth in the past several decades. Between 1980 and 2009, this population increased from 4.7 to 11.2 million young people, or from 10 to 21% of the
school-age population. This growth will likely continue in U.S. schools; by 2030, it is anticipated that 40% of the school-age population in the U.S. will speak a language other
than English at home.
(1)
Today, in schools and districts across the U.S., many students other than those classified as ELLs are learning English as an additional language, even if
not in the initial stages of language developmentthese children are often described as “language minority learners.” Likewise, many students, large numbers of whom are
growing up in poverty, speak a dialect of English that is different from the academic English found in school curriculum.

Each of these groupsELLs/MLLs, language minority learners, and students acquiring academic Englishoften struggle to access the language, and therefore the knowledge
that fills the pages of academic texts, despite their linguistic assets. Therefore, the context for this new set of Mathematics Standards is that there is a pressing need to provide
instruction that not only meets, but exceeds standards, as part of system-wide initiative to promote equal access to math skills for all learners while capitalizing on linguistic
and cultural diversity.
All academic work does, to some degree, involve the academic language needed for success in school. For many students, including ELLs/MLLs, underdeveloped academic
language affects their ability to comprehend and analyze texts, limits their ability to write and express their mathematical reasoning effectively, and can hinder their
acquisition of academic content in all academic areas in which learning is demonstrated and assessed through oral and written language. If there isn’t sufficient attention paid
to building academic language across all content areas, students, including ELLs/MLLs, will not reach their potential and we will continue to perpetuate achievement gaps. The
challenge is to design instruction that acknowledges the role of language; because language and knowledge are so inextricable.
In summary, today’s children live in a society where many of their peers are from diverse backgrounds and speak different languages; one where technology is ubiquitous and
central to daily life. They will enter a workforce and economy that demands critical thinking skills, and strong communication and social skills for full participation in society.
This new society and economy has implications for today’s education systemespecially our instruction to foster a deeper and different set of communication and critical
thinking skills, with significant attention to STEM.
Students with Disabilities and the Standards
One of the fundamental tenets guiding educational legislation (the No Child Left Behind Act, and Every Student Succeeds Act), and related policies over the past 15-years, is that
all students, including students with disabilities, can achieve high standards of academic performance. A related trend is the increasing knowledge and skill expectations for
PreK-Grade 12 students, especially in the area of reading and language arts, required for success in postsecondary education and 21
st
Century careers. Indeed, underdeveloped
literacy skills have profound academic, social, emotional, and economic consequences for students, families, and society.
At the same time, the most recently available federal data
(5)
presents a portrait of the field reflecting both challenges and opportunities.
Students served under IDEA, Part B: During the 2012-13 school year, there was a total of 5.83 million students with disabilities, ages 6-21; an increase from 5.67
million in 2010-11.
Access to the general education program: More than 60 percent (62.1%) of students, ages 6 through 21 served under IDEA, Part B, were educated in the regular
classroom 80% or more of the day, up from 60.5% in 2010-11.
Participation in state assessments: Between 68.1 and 84.1 percent of students with disabilities in each of grades 3 through 8 and high school participated in the
regular state assessment in reading based on grade-level academic achievement standards with or without accommodations.
English language arts proficiency: The median percentages of students with disabilities in grades 3 through 8 and high school who were administered the 2012-13
state assessment in reading based on grade-level academic achievement standards who were proficient ranged from 25.4 to 37.3 percent.
Graduation: Over sixty percent (65.1%) of students with disabilities graduated with a regular high school diploma.
Overall, the number of students with disabilities is increasing nationwide, as is their access to the general education curriculum, and participation in the state ELA and
mathematics assessments. Attaining proficiency and graduating with a regular high school diploma are areas where significant improvements are needed.
Therefore, each student’s individualized education program (IEP) must be developed in consideration of the State learning standards and should include information for
teachers to effectively provide supports and services to address the individual learning needs of the student as they impact the student’s ability to participate and progress in
the general education curriculum. In addition to supports and services, special education must include specially designed instruction, which means adapting, as appropriate,
the content, methodology or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs that result from the student’s disability. By so doing, the teacher ensures each student’s
access to the general education curriculum so that he or she can meet the learning standards that apply to all students. The
Blueprint for Improved Results for Students with
Disabilities focuses on seven core evidence-based principles for students with disabilities to ensure they have the opportunity to benefit from high quality instruction and to

reach the same academic standards as all students. For additional information, please see the Office of Special Education’s field advisory: Blueprint for Improved Results for
Students with Disabilities.
Understanding the NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017)
The NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017) define what students should understand and be able to do as a result of their study of mathematics. To
assess progress on the Standards, a teacher must assess whether the student has understood what has been taught and provide opportunities where a student can
independently use and apply this knowledge to solve mathematical problems in similar or new contexts. While procedural skills are relatively straightforward to assess,
teachers often ask: what does mathematical understanding look like? One hallmark of mathematical understanding is the ability to justify, in a way appropriate to the
student’s mathematical maturity, why a particular mathematical statement is accurate or where a mathematical rule comes from. Correctly using language to articulate
mathematical understanding plays a part in this justification. Making the distinction between mathematical understanding and procedural skill is critical when designing
curriculum and assessment; both are important for the mastery of these standards. That is, there is a world of difference between a student who can summon a mnemonic
device to expand a product such as (a + b)(x + y) and a student who can explain what the mnemonic represents as a process for systematically approaching algebraic problems.
The student who can explain the rule understands the mathematics, and may have a better chance to succeed at a less familiar task, such as expanding (a + b + c)(x + y).
The Standards set grade-specific standards but do not define the intervention methods or materials necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade-
level expectations. It is also beyond the scope of the Standards to define the full range of supports appropriate for English Language Learners (ELLs)/Multilingual Learners
(MLLs) and for Students with Disabilities. However, the department ensured that teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs)/Multilingual Learners (MLLs) and Students with
Disabilities participated in the revision of the standards. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has created two statewide frameworks, the Blueprint for Improved
Results for Students with Disabilities and the Blueprint for English Language Learner Success, aimed to clarify expectations and to provide guidance for administrators,
policymakers, and practitioners to prepare ELLs/MLLs and Students with Disabilities for success. These principles therein the frameworks are intended to enhance
programming and improve instruction that would allow for students within these populations to reach the same standards as all students and leave school prepared to
successfully transition to post school learning, living and working.
No set of grade-specific standards can fully reflect the variation in learning profiles, rates, and needs, linguistic backgrounds, and achievement levels of students in any given
classroom. When designing and delivering mathematics instruction, educators must consider the cultural context and prior academic experiences of all students while bridging
prior knowledge to new knowledge and ensuring that content is meaningful and comprehensible. In addition, as discussed above, educators must consider the relationship of
language and content, and the vital role that language plays in obtaining and expressing mathematics content knowledge. The standards should be read as allowing for the
widest possible range of students to participate fully from the outset, along with appropriate adaptations to ensure equitable access and maximum participation of all
students.

How to Read the P-8 Standards for Mathematical Content
*See High School Introduction for how to read the High School Standards for Mathematical Content.
The standards are organized by grade level from Prekindergarten through grade eight.
Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.
Clusters summarize groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject.
Domains are larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related.
Coherence Linkages connect standards one grade level forward and/or back when there are very direct linking standards in those grades. For a more thorough analysis
of how standards link to one another, see http://achievethecore.org/coherence-map/.

appear as hover-over text.
Prekindergarten through Grade Eight
The order in which the standards are presented is not necessarily the order in which the standards need to be taught. Standards from various domains are connected, and
educators will need to determine the best overall design and approach, as well as the instructional strategies needed to support their learners to attain grade-level
expectations and the knowledge articulated in the standards. That is, the standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods; learning opportunities and pathways will
continue to vary across schools and school systems, and educators should make every effort to meet the needs of individual students, based on their pedagogical and
professional impressions and information.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice
The Standards for each grade level and course begin with eight Standards for Mathematical Practice. The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise
that mathematics educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding
importance in mathematics education. The first of these are the NCTM process standards of problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, representation, and
connections.
(6)
The second are the strands of mathematical proficiency specified in the National Research Council’s report Adding it Up: adaptive reasoning, strategic
competence, conceptual understanding (comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations and relations), procedural fluency (skill in carrying out procedures flexibly,
accurately, efficiently and appropriately), and productive disposition (habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in
diligence and one’s own efficacy).
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints,
relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt.
They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their
progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on
their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables,
and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or
pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask
themselves, “Does this make sense?” They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems
involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualizeto abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if
they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referentsand the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to
probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units
involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Mathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments. They make conjectures
and build a logical progression of statements to explore the truth of their conjectures. They are able to analyze situations by breaking them into cases, and can recognize and
use counterexamples. They justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. They reason inductively about data, making
plausible arguments that take into account the context from which the data arose. Mathematically proficient students are also able to compare the effectiveness of two
plausible arguments, distinguish correct logic or reasoning from that which is flawed, andif there is a flaw in an argumentexplain what it is. Elementary students can
construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions. Such arguments can make sense and be correct, even though they are not
generalized or made formal until later grades. Later, students learn to determine domains to which an argument applies. Students at all grades can listen or read the
arguments of others, decide whether they make sense, and ask useful questions to clarify or improve the arguments.
4. Model with mathematics.
Mathematically proficient students can apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace. In early grades, this might be
as simple as writing an addition equation to describe a situation. In middle grades, a student might apply proportional reasoning to plan a school event or analyze a problem in
the community. By high school, a student might use geometry to solve a design problem or use a function to describe how one quantity of interest depends on another.
Mathematically proficient students who can apply what they know are comfortable making assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that
New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017)
Linked Navigation: Intro, MP, PK, K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, HS Intro, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Plus, Citations Page | 8
these may need revision later. They are able to identify important quantities in a practical situation and map their relationships using such tools as diagrams, two-way tables,
graphs, flowcharts and formulas. They can analyze those relationships mathematically to draw conclusions. They routinely interpret their mathematical results in the context
of the situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a
protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, a computer algebra system, a statistical package, or dynamic geometry software. Proficient students are sufficiently familiar with tools
appropriate for their grade or course to make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained and their limitations.
For example, mathematically proficient high school students analyze graphs of functions and solutions generated using a graphing calculator. They detect possible errors by
strategically using estimation and other mathematical knowledge. When making mathematical models, they know that technology can enable them to visualize the results of
varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. Mathematically proficient students at various grade levels are able to identify relevant
external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to pose or solve problems. They are able to use technological tools to explore and
deepen their understanding of concepts.
6. Attend to precision.
Mathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They state the
meaning of the symbols they choose, including using the equal sign consistently and appropriately. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and labeling axes to
clarify the correspondence with quantities in a problem. They calculate accurately and efficiently, express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the
problem context. In the elementary grades, students give carefully formulated explanations to each other. By the time they reach high school they have learned to examine
claims and make explicit use of definitions.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
Mathematically proficient students look closely to discern a pattern or structure. Young students, for example, might notice that three and seven more is the same amount as
seven and three more, or they may sort a collection of shapes according to how many sides the shapes have. Later, students will see 7 × 8 equals the well-remembered
7 × 5 + 7 × 3, in preparation for learning about the distributive property. In the expression x
2
+ 9x + 14, older students can see the 14 as 2 × 7 and the 9 as 2 + 7. They recognize
the significance of an existing line in a geometric figure and can use the strategy of drawing an auxiliary line for solving problems. They also can step back for an overview and
shift perspective. They can see complicated things, such as some algebraic expressions, as single objects or as being composed of several objects. For example, they can see
5 - 3(x - y)
2
as 5 minus a positive number times a square and use that to realize that its value cannot be more than 5 for any real numbers x and y.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Mathematically proficient students notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts. Upper elementary students might notice when
dividing 25 by 11 that they are repeating the same calculations over and over again, and conclude they have a repeating decimal. By paying attention to the calculation of
slope as they repeatedly check whether points are on the line through (1, 2) with slope 3, middle school students might abstract the equation (y2)/(x1) = 3. Noticing the
regularity in the way terms cancel when expanding (x - 1)(x + 1), (x - 1)(x
2
+ x + 1), and (x - 1)(x
3
+ x
2
+ x + 1) might lead them to the general formula for the sum of a geometric
series. As they work to solve a problem, mathematically proficient students maintain oversight of the process, while attending to the details. They continually evaluate the
reasonableness of their intermediate results.

Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to the Standards for Mathematical Content
The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe ways in which developing student practitioners increasingly ought to engage with the subject matter as they grow in
mathematical maturity and expertise throughout the elementary, middle and high school years. Designers of curricula, assessments, and professional development should all
attend to the need to connect the mathematical practices to mathematical content in mathematics instruction.
The Standards for Mathematical Content are a balanced combination of procedure and understanding. Expectations that begin with the word “understand” are often
especially good opportunities to connect the practices to the content. Students who lack understanding of a topic may rely on procedures too heavily. Without a flexible base
from which to work, they may be less likely to consider analogous problems, represent problems coherently, justify conclusions, apply the mathematics to practical situations,
use technology mindfully to work with the mathematics, explain the mathematics accurately to other students, step back for an overview, or deviate from a known procedure
to find a shortcut. In short, a lack of understanding effectively prevents a student from engaging in the mathematical practices.
In this respect, those content standards, which set an expectation of understanding, are potential “points of intersection” between the Standards for Mathematical Content
and the Standards for Mathematical Practice. These points of intersection are intended to be weighted toward central and generative concepts in the school mathematics
curriculum that most merit the time, resources, innovative energies, and focus necessary to qualitatively improve the curriculum, instruction, assessment, professional
development, and student achievement in mathematics.

Pre-Kindergarten Overview
In Pre-Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two areas: (1) developing a good sense of numbers using concrete objects including concepts of correspondence,
counting, cardinality, and comparison; (2) describing shapes in their everyday environment. More learning time in Pre-Kindergarten should be devoted to exploring* and
developing the sense of numbers than any other topic. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards
should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Counting and Cardinality domain, students:
develop a sense of numbers and count to determine the number of objects;
understand that number words refer to quantity;
use 1:1 correspondence to solve problems by matching sets and comparing number amounts and in counting objects to 10 through a variety of experiences; and
understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted (cardinality) and they count to determine number amounts and compare quantities
(using language such as more than, fewer than, or equal to (the same as) the number of objects in another group).
2. Through their learning in the Geometry and Measurement and Data domains, students:
describe the position of objects in space based on the relations of those objects (e.g., shape and special relations) using appropriate vocabulary;
identify and name basic two-dimensional shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles; and
use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their everyday environment.
*Note: Explore indicates that the topic is an important concept that builds the foundation for progression toward mastery in later grades. Repeated experiences with
these concepts, with immersion in the concrete, are vital.

and a circle. Answer counting questions using as many as 5 objects in a scattered configuration.
NY-PK.CC.4
NY-K.CC.5
e.g., “How many ______ are there?”
4b. Given a number from 110, count out that many objects.
Note on the Word Explore:
Explore indicates that the topic is an important concept that builds the foundation for progression toward mastery in later grades. Repeated experiences with these
concepts, with immersion in the concrete, are vital.
Within-Grade Connections:
Much of the learning in prekindergartenNY-PK.CC.5, all of NY-PK.OA.1, and NY-PK.MD.2depends on the foundational ability to count to answer “how many?” (NY-
PK.CC.4), which itself is grounded in NY-PK.CC.3. Therefore, work on NY-PK.CC.3 & 4 should likely begin at or near the beginning of the year.

Kindergarten Overview
In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two areas: (1) developing a sound sense of numbers by representing and comparing numbers, initially using sets of objects;
(2) recognizing and describing shapes and using spatial relations. More learning time in Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to any other topic. Please note that
while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking domains, students:
develop a more formal sense of numbers;
use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities and to solve quantitative problems, such as counting objects in a set; counting out a given number
of objects; comparing sets or numerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situations with sets of objects, or eventually with equations such as 5 + 2 = 7 and
7 – 2 = 5. Note: Kindergarten students should see addition and subtraction equations, and student writing of equations in kindergarten is encouraged, but it is not
required; and
choose, combine, and apply effective strategies for answering quantitative questions, including quickly recognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects, counting
and producing sets of given sizes, counting the number of objects in combined sets, or counting the number of objects that remain in a set after some are taken away.
2. Through their learning in the Geometry and Measurement and Data domains, students:
describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatial relations) and appropriate vocabulary;
identify, name, and describe basic two-dimensional shapes, such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons, presented in a variety of ways (e.g., with
different sizes and orientations), as well as three-dimensional shapes such as cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres;
use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to model objects in their everyday environment to create and compose more complex shapes; and
explore* coins and begin identifying of pennies and dimes.
*Note: Explore indicates that the topic is an important concept that builds the foundation for progression toward mastery in later grades. Repeated experiences with
these concepts, with immersion in the concrete, are vital.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

NY-K.CC.3
NY-1.NBT.1
Note on Number Reversals:
Learning to write numerals is generally more difficult than learning to read them. It is common for students to reverse numbers at this stage (e.g., writing for ).
(8)
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Kindergarten students say the number names by ones and by tens (“ten, twenty, thirty, . . .”) all the way to 100 (NY-K.CC.1). The structure of a number name such as
“thirty-two” reflects the underlying system of place value. Attending to and using that structure (MP.7) is an important foundation for place value. For more information
about how patterns in the number names affect learning the teen numbers, see K-5 Progression on Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking.
(9)
As students count by tens (NY-K.CC.1), they may make sense (MP.1) of these numbers by reciting each new number in the sequence “ten, twenty, thirty . . .” as a new
child joins the children already standing in front of the classroom and showing all their fingers. The patterns in the place-value systemthe structure of numbers
(MP.7)become more apparent when children say “six tens is sixty, seven tens is seventy, eight tens is eighty,” etc. Children can also flash ten fingers as they count by
tens to feel the ten that are added on with each count.

a. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object
with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.
(1:1 correspondence)
b. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted,
(cardinality). The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order
in which they were counted.
c. Understand the concept that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one
larger.
d. Understand the concept of ordinal numbers (first through tenth) to describe the relative
position and magnitude of whole numbers.

NY-PK.CC.4
NY-K.CC.5
e.g., “How many ______ are there?”
5b. Given a number from 120, count out that many objects.
Within-Grade Connections:
Much of the learning in kindergartenNY-K.CC.6, all of NY-K.OA and NY-K.NBT, and NY-K.MD.3depends on the foundational ability to count to answer “how many?”
(NY-K.CC.5), which itself is grounded in NY-K.CC.4. Therefore, work on NY-K.CC.4 and NY-K.CC.5 should likely begin near the beginning of the year.
(9)
NY-K.CC Counting and Cardinality
Compare numbers.
6. Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than (more than), less than
(fewer than), or equal to (the same as) the number of objects in another group.
Note: Include groups with up to ten objects.

7. Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
Coherence:

Within-Grade Connections:
If students are less than fluent in number comparisons (NY-K.CC.7) by the end of kindergarten, then they may not have mastered early number concepts (NY-K.CC.1 - 4).
Note that NY-K.CC.6 is a precursor to NY-K.CC.7 and portrays the kind of concrete work that students should be doing en route to mastering numeral-based comparisons.

Grade 1 Overview
In Grade 1, instructional time should focus on three areas: (1) developing understanding of addition, subtraction, and strategies for addition and subtraction within 20; (2)
developing understanding of whole number relationships and place value, including grouping in tens and ones; and (3) developing understanding of linear measurement and
measuring lengths as iterating length units. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be
included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Operations and Algebraic Thinking domain, students:
develop strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers based on their prior work with small numbers;
use a variety of models, including discrete objects and length-based models (e.g., cubes connected to form lengths), to model add-to, take-from, put-together, take-
apart, and compare situations to develop meaning for the operations of addition and subtraction, and to develop strategies to solve arithmetic problems with these
operations;
understand connections between counting and addition and subtraction (e.g., adding two is the same as counting on two);
use properties of addition to add whole numbers and to create and use increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties (e.g., “making tens”) to solve
addition and subtraction problems within 20; and
build their understanding of the relationship between addition and subtraction by comparing a variety of solution strategies.
2. Through their learning in the Number and Operations in Base Ten domain, students:
develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and generalizable methods to add within 100 and subtract multiples of 10;
compare whole numbers (at least to 100) to develop understanding of and solve problems involving their relative sizes;
think of whole numbers between 10 and 100 in terms of tens and ones (especially recognizing the numbers 11 to 19 as composed of a ten and some ones); and
understand the order of the counting numbers and their relative magnitudes through activities that build number sense.
3. Through their learning in the Measurement and Data domain, students:
develop an understanding of the meaning and processes of measurement, including underlying concepts such as iterating (the mental activity of building up the
length of an object with equal-sized units) and the transitivity principle for indirect measurement.*
*Note: Students should apply the transitivity principle of indirect measurement to make comparisons, but they need not use this technical term.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

Note: Students need not use formal terms for these properties.
Coherence:

e.g.,
If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known.
(Commutative property of addition.)
To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to
make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12.
(Associative property of addition.)
4. Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem within 20.
Coherence:
NY-1.OA.4
NY-2.NBT.9
e.g., Subtract 10 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when
added to 8.
Within-Grade Connections:
When students use the making ten strategy (NY-1.OA.6), they are applying the Associative property of addition (NY-1.OA.3).
(9)
For example, when solving 8 + 3 by “making a ten,” a student decomposes the 3 into 2 + 1 in order to re-associate the 2 with the 8, making ten + 1. 8 + 3
8 + (2 + 1)
(8 + 2) + 1
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
All work with properties (NY-1.OA.3) and place value (e.g., NY-1.NBT.2 & 4) should be seen as an investigation and use of the structure of the number system and of
arithmetic (MP.7). Students’ explanations of the properties and reasoning that they used in these contexts are early beginnings of the construction of (brief) logical
arguments (MP.3). Examples of brief but excellent arguments at this grade level could include:
o I know that 7 3 equals 4 because 4 + 3 equals 7. (This shows NY-1.OA.4 being met.)
o I knew that 8 + 8 = 20 was wrong because 10 + 10 equals 20 and 8 is less than 10.
o I know that 8 + 7 equals 15 because I know that 8 + 8 equals 16.

8. Determine the unknown whole number in an addition or subtraction equation with the unknown
in all positions.
e.g., Determine the unknown number that makes the equation
true in each of the equations:
8 + ? = 11 __ 3 = 5 6 + 6 =
Within-Grade Connections:
Understanding the meaning of the equal sign (NY-1.OA.7) is a crucial aspect of and solving equations (NY-1.OA.8). In order to gain understanding of the equal sign and
solving equations, students must see varied equation forms especially those with only one number on the left side of the equation. Through this work, students come
to understand where the total is in addition equations (alone on one side) and in subtraction equations (before the minus sign).

choose to use a concrete model or a drawing. Their strategy
must be based on place value, properties of operations, or the
relationship between addition and subtraction.
Note: A written representation is any way of showing a strategy using
words, pictures, or numbers.
Within-Grade Connections:
Quickly finding 10 more or 10 less than a two-digit number (NY-1.NBT.5) is a good indicator of whether students have an understanding of place value for two-digit
numbers (NY-1.NBT.2).

Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
All work with properties (NY-1.OA.3) and place value (e.g., NY-1.NBT.2 & 4) should be seen as an investigation and use of the structure of the number system and of
arithmetic (MP.7). Students’ explanations of the properties and reasoning that they used in these contexts are early beginnings of the construction of (brief) logical
arguments (MP.3). Examples of brief but excellent arguments at this grade level could include:
o I know that 7 3 equals 4 because 4 + 3 equals 7. (This shows NY-1.OA.4 being met.)
o I knew that 8 + 8 = 20 was wrong because 10 + 10 equals 20 and 8 is less than 10.
o I know that 8 + 7 equals 15 because I know that 8 + 8 equals 16.
(9)
When students add two-digit numbers (NY-1.NBT.4), they “Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning” (MP.8). Students will repeatedly think about the units
of ten and the units of one in their concrete models or drawings and in their recorded written methods. During this work, students are also “modeling with mathematics
(MP.4).

NY-2.MD.1
Note: “Length units” could include cubes, paper clips, etc.
Within-Grade Connections:
Units are a connection between place value (NY-1.NBT) and measurement (NY-1.MD). Working with place value depends on having a sense of the sizes of the base-ten
units and being able to see a larger unit as composed of smaller units within the system.

e.g., 3 dimes and 4 pennies is the same as 3 tens and 4 ones, which
is 34¢.
Within-Grade Connections:
While students are dealing with the limited precision of only whole hours and half-hours (NY-1.MD.3a), they must distinguish the position of the hour hand. This connects
to partitioning circles into halves and quarters (NY-1.G.3).

e.g.,
A defining attribute may include, but is not limited to:
triangles are closed and three-sided.
Non-defining attributes include, but are not limited to: color,
orientation, and overall size.
Note on and/or: Students should be taught to build and draw
shapes to possess defining attributes; however, when
answering questions, students can choose to build or draw
the shape.
2. Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and
quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones,
and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the
composite shape.
Note: Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”
NY-K.G.6
NY-1.G.2
3. Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the
words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of.
Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that
decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
NY-1.G.3
NY-2.G.3
Within-Grade Connections:
Composing shapes to create a new shape (NY-1.G.2) is the spatial analogue of composing numbers to create new numbers (NY-1.NBT.2). This concept is also connected to
length measurement (NY-1.MD.2) since students must visualize an object that is to be measured as being built up out of equal-sized units (see also NY-1.G.3). Though
assembling two congruent right triangles into a rectangle does not use the same facts or reasoning that assembling two fives into a ten uses, the idea of looking at how
objects in some domain (numbers or shapes) can be combined to make other objects in that domain, and looking for new true statements one can make about these
combinations, is a big idea that is common across mathematics.

Grade 2 Overview
In Grade 2, instructional time should focus on four areas: (1) extending understanding of base-ten notation; (2) building fluency with addition and subtraction; (3) using
standard units of measure; and (4) analyzing and classifying two dimensional shapes as polygons or non-polygons. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade
level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Number and Operations in Base Ten domain, students:
extend their understanding of the base-ten system. This includes ideas of counting in fives, tens, and multiples of hundreds, tens, and ones, as well as number
relationships involving these units, including comparing; and
understand multi-digit numbers (up to 1000) written in base-ten notation, recognizing that the digits in each place represent amounts of thousands, hundreds, tens,
or ones (e.g., 853 is 8 hundreds + 5 tens + 3 ones).
2. Through their learning in the Operations and Algebraic Thinking and Numbers and Operations in Base Ten domains, students:
use their understanding of addition to develop fluency with addition and subtraction within 100;
solve problems within 1000 by applying their understanding of models for addition and subtraction, and they develop, discuss, and use efficient, accurate, and
generalizable methods to compute sums and differences of whole numbers in base-ten notation, using their understanding of place value and the properties of
operations; and
select and accurately apply methods that are appropriate for the context and the numbers involved to mentally calculate sums and differences for numbers with only
tens or only hundreds.
3. Through their learning in the Measurement and Data domain, students:
recognize the need for standard units of measure (centimeter and inch) and use rulers and other measurement tools with the understanding that linear measure
involves an iteration of units; and
recognize that the smaller the unit, the more iterations needed to cover a given length.
4. Through their learning in the Geometry domain, students:
describe and classify shapes as polygons or non-polygons;
investigate, describe, and reason about decomposing and combining shapes to make other shapes; and
draw, partition, and analyze two-dimensional shapes to develop a foundation for understanding area, congruence, similarity, and fractions in later grades.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Note on Manipulatives in Grades K-2:
A note on manipulatives in grades K2: Manipulatives such as physical models of hundreds, tens, and ones, and visual models such as math drawings, are important parts
of the K2 classroom. These manipulatives and visual models should always be connected to written symbols and methods.

NY-2.OA Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Add and subtract within 20.
2a. Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. Strategies could include:
NY-1.OA.6
NY-2.OA.2
counting on;
making ten;
e.g., 8 + 6 =
8 + 2 + 4 =
10 + 4 = 14
decomposing a number leading to a ten;
e.g., 13 4 =
13 3 1 =
10 1 = 9
using the relationship between addition and subtraction; and
e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 8 = 4
creating equivalent but easier or known sums.
e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13
2b. Know from memory all sums within 20 of two one-digit numbers.
Note on Fluency with Facts:
Fluently adding and subtracting within 20 (NY-2.OA.2) means students can find sums and differences within 20 reasonably quickly, and say or write it. Fluency involves a
mixture of just knowing some answers, knowing some answers from patterns, and knowing some answers from the use of strategies.
(10)
Reaching fluency will take much
of the year for many students. For more on how children develop fluency, see K–5 Progression on Counting and Cardinality and Operations and Algebraic Thinking, pp.
18-19 and Adding it Up, pp. 182-195.
Note on Fluency vs. Knowing from Memory:
The standards intentionally distinguish between asking for fluency with addition and subtraction (NY-2.OA.2a) and asking students to know from memory addition facts
(NY-2.OA.2b). Fluency means students are fast, accurate, flexible, and have understanding. They use strategies efficiently.
(12)
By the end of the K2 grade span, students
have sufficient experience with these strategies to know from memory all single-digit sums.

Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.
(12) (13)
For more on developing procedural fluency, see Adding it Up, pp. 121-124.
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
When students compose ones and tens to make tens and hundreds, and decompose hundreds and tens when they need more tens and ones they are looking for and
make use of structure (MP.7). They look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP.8) both as they compose and decompose such units and as they initially
extend their reasoning and written methods from adding and subtracting within 100 to adding and subtracting within 1000.

NY-1.MD.3c
NY-2.MD.8
e.g., If you have 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and 3 pennies, how many
cents do you have?
Note: Students are not introduced to decimals, and therefore the
dollar symbol, until Grade 4.
Within-Grade Connections:
Problems involving dollars, dimes, and pennies (NY-2.MD.8) should be connected with the place-value learning of hundreds, tens, and ones (NY-2.NBT.1). A dollar is 100
cents, or a “bundle” of 10 dimes, each of which is a “bundle” of 10 pennies. Work with dollars, dimes, and pennies (without the notation) can support methods of whole-
number addition (e.g., dimes are added to dimes).
(9)
Work with nickels (NY-2.MD.8) and with telling time to the nearest five minutes on analog clocks (NY-2.MD.7) should be taken together with counting by 5s (NY-2.NBT.2)
as contexts for gaining familiarity with repeating groups of 5 (NY-2.OA.4).
(9)
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
When students use rulers (NY-2.MD.1 4), clocks (NY-2.MD.7), coins (NY-2.MD.8), and the number line (essentially an abstract ruler or measurement scale), they are
using objects that remain appropriate tools (MP.5) for a lifetime. The contexts of nickels, hands, and telling time, for example, may help students to understand the
usefulness of counting by 5 in different situations. Through the use of these tools across the domains, students recognize that the same sequence of numbers (0, 5, 10,
15,…) is common to all of them. That sequence of number names expresses the regularity (MP.8) of a calculation (counting five more) that recurs in many contexts.

Grade 3 Overview
In Grade 3, instructional time should focus on four areas: (1) developing understanding of multiplication and division and strategies for multiplication and division within 100;
(2) developing understanding of fractions, especially unit fractions (fractions with numerator 1); (3) developing understanding of the structure of rectangular arrays and of
area; and (4) describing and analyzing polygons based on the number of sides and vertices. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been
included in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Operations and Algebraic Thinking domain, students:
develop an understanding of the meanings of multiplication and division of whole numbers through activities and problems involving equal-sized groups, arrays, and
area models; multiplication is finding an unknown product, and division is finding an unknown factor in these situations. For equal-sized group situations, division can
require finding the unknown number of groups or the unknown group size;
use properties of operations to calculate products of whole numbers, using increasingly sophisticated strategies based on these properties to solve multiplication and
division problems involving single-digit factors; and
compare a variety of solution strategies to learn the relationship between multiplication and division.
2. Through their learning in the Number Sense and OperationsFractions domain, students:
develop an understanding of fractions, beginning with unit fractions;
view fractions in general as being built out of unit fractions, and use fractions along with visual fraction models to represent parts of a whole;
understand that the size of a fractional part is relative to the size of the whole. Use fractions to represent numbers equal to, less than, and greater than one; and
solve problems that involve comparing fractions by using visual fraction models and strategies based on noticing equal numerators or denominators.
3. Through their learning in the Measurement and Data domain, students:
recognize area as an attribute of two-dimensional regions;
measure the area of a shape by finding the total number of same-size units of area required to cover the shape without gaps or overlaps, a square with sides of unit
length being the standard unit for measuring area; and
understand that rectangular arrays can be decomposed into identical rows or into identical columns. By decomposing rectangles into rectangular arrays of squares,
students connect area to multiplication, and justify using multiplication to determine the area of a rectangle.
4. Through their learning in the Geometry domain, students:
classify polygons by examining their sides and vertices; and
relate their fraction work to geometry by expressing the area of part of a shape as a unit fraction of the whole.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

NY-3.OA Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.
1. Interpret products of whole numbers.
NY-2.OA.4
NY-3.OA.1
NY-4.OA.1
e.g., Interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7
objects each. Describe a context in which a total number of
objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
2. Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers.
e.g., Interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when
56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a
number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal
shares of 8 objects each. Describe a context in which a
number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as
56 ÷ 8.
3. Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal
groups, arrays, and measurement quantities.
NY-3.OA.3
NY-4.OA.2
e.g., using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown
number to represent the problem
4. Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three
whole numbers.
e.g., Determine the unknown number that makes the equation
true in each of the equations: 8 × ? = 48, 5 = __÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?
Within-Grade Connections:
Students should begin work with multiplication and division (NY-3.OA) at or near the beginning of the year to allow time for understanding and fluency to develop.
o The area models for products (NY-3.MD.7) are an important part of this process because they provide a visual model for understanding the concept of multiplication
and because they provide a visual model that makes the distributive property explicit. Hence, work on concepts of area (NY-3.MD.5-6) should likely begin near the
beginning of the year as well.

5. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.
Note: Students need not use formal terms for these properties.
: NY-3.OA.5
NY-4.NBT.5
NY-4.NBT.6
e.g.,
If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known.
(Commutative property of multiplication)
3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by
5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30.
(Associative property of multiplication)
Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as
8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56.
(Distributive property)
Note: A variety of representations can be used when applying the
properties of operations, which may or may not include
parentheses. The area model (NY-3.MD.7c) is a
multiplication/division strategy that applies the
distributive property (NY-3.OA.5), e.g.,
6. Understand division as an unknown-factor problem.
NY-3.OA.6
NY-4.NBT.6
e.g., Find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when
multiplied by 8.
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Students learn and use strategies for finding products and quotients that are based on the properties of operations; for example, to find 4 × 7, they may recognize that
7 = 5 + 2 and compute 4 × 5 + 4 × 2. This is an example of seeing and making use of structure (MP.7). Such reasoning processes amount to brief arguments that students
may construct and critique (MP.3).

Algebraic Thinking, pp. 18-19 and Adding it Up, pp. 182-195.
Note on Fluency vs. Knowing from Memory:
The standards intentionally distinguish between asking for fluency with multiplication and division (NY-3.OA.7a) and asking students to know from memory multiplication
facts (NY-3.OA.7b). Fluency means students are fast, accurate, flexible, and have understanding. They use strategies efficiently.

e.g., The number 3,245 in expanded form can be written as
3,245 = 3,000 + 200 + 40 + 5.
Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

For more on developing procedural fluency, see Adding it Up, pp. 121-124.
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
When students decompose numbers into sums of multiples of base-ten units to multiply them (NY-4.NBT.5), they are seeing and making use of structure (MP.7). As they
illustrate and explain the calculation by using physical or drawn models, they are modeling (MP.4), using appropriate drawn tools strategically (MP.5) and attending to
precision (MP.6) as they use base-ten units in the appropriate places.

A meter is about the height of a kitchen counter.
A kilometer is 2 ½ laps around most tracks.
Know the conversion factor and use it to convert measurements in a larger unit in terms of a
smaller unit: ft., in.; km, m, cm; hr., min., sec.
e.g., Know that 1 ft. is 12 times as long as 1 in. and express the
length of a 4 ft. snake as 48 in.
Given the conversion factor, convert all other measurements within a single system of
measurement from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

NY-4.MD Measurement and Data
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
5. Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common
endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement.
a. Recognize an angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common
endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where
the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through

of a circle is called a “one-
degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
b. Recognize an angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of
n degrees.
6. Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
7. Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts,
the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and
subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical
problems.
e.g., using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle
measure; such as, in the rectangle below, angle CAD could be
found by : 75 + x = 90 or 90 - 75 = ?
Within-Grade Connections:
Standard NY-4.MD.7 refers to word problems involving unknown angle measures. Before this standard can be met, students must understand concepts of angle measure
(NY-4.MD.5) and, presumably, gain some experience measuring angles (NY-4.MD.6). Before that can happen, students must have some familiarity with the geometric
terms that are used to define angles as geometric shapes (NY-4.G.1).

Grade 5 Overview
In Grade 5, instructional time should focus on three areas: (1) developing fluency with addition and subtraction of fractions, and developing understanding of the
multiplication of fractions and of division of fractions in limited cases (unit fractions divided by whole numbers and whole numbers divided by unit fractions); (2) extending
division to 2-digit divisors, integrating decimals into the place value system and developing understanding of operations with decimals to hundredths, and developing fluency
with whole number and decimal operations; and (3) developing understanding of volume. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included
in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Number and Operations Fractions and Operations and Algebraic Thinking domains, students:
apply their understanding of fractions and fraction models to represent the addition and subtraction of fractions with unlike denominators as equivalent calculations
with like denominators;
develop fluency in calculating sums and differences of fractions, and make reasonable estimates of them; and
use the meaning of fractions, of multiplication and division, and the relationship between multiplication and division to understand and explain why the procedures
for multiplying and dividing fractions make sense. (note: this is limited to the case of dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions.)
2. Through their learning in the Operations and Algebraic Thinking and Number and Operations in Base Ten domains, students:
develop understanding of why division procedures work based on the meaning of base-ten numerals and properties of operations;
apply understandings of models for decimals, decimal notation, and properties of operations to add and subtract decimals to hundredths;
develop fluency with decimal computations to hundredths, and make reasonable estimates of their results; and
use the relationship between decimals and fractions, as well as the relationship between finite decimals and whole numbers (i.e., a finite decimal multiplied by an
appropriate power of 10 is a whole number), to understand and explain why the procedures for multiplying and dividing finite decimals make sense.
3. Through their learning in the Measurement and Data and Geometry domains, students:
recognize volume as an attribute of three-dimensional space;
understand that volume can be measured by finding the total number of same-size units of volume required to fill the space without gaps or overlaps;
understand that a 1-unit by 1-unit by 1-unit cube is the standard unit for measuring volume;
select appropriate units, strategies, and tools for solving problems that involve estimating and measuring volume;
decompose three-dimensional shapes and find volumes of right rectangular prisms by viewing them as decomposed into layers of arrays of cubes; and
measure necessary attributes of shapes in order to determine volumes to solve real world and mathematical problems.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

corresponding terms. Form ordered pairs consisting of corresponding terms from the two
patterns, and graph the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

sequence are twice the corresponding terms in the other
sequence. Explain informally why this is so.

Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

precision (MP.6). Initially for most students, multi-digit division problems take time and effort, so they also require perseverance (MP.1) and looking for and expressing
regularity in repeated reasoning (MP.8).

Grade 6 Overview
In Grade 6, instructional time should focus on five areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve
problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers; (3)
writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; (4) deepening understanding of area, surface area and volume; and (5) developing understanding of simple
probabilities and statistical thinking. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in
instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Ratios and Proportional Relationships domain, students:
use reasoning about multiplication and division to solve ratio and rate problems about quantities;
connect understanding of multiplication and division with ratios and rates by viewing equivalent ratios and rates as deriving from, and extending, pairs of rows (or
columns) in the multiplication table, and by analyzing simple drawings that indicate the relative size of quantities; and
expand the scope of problems for which they can use multiplication and division to solve problems, and they connect ratios and fractions.
2. Through their learning in the Number System domain, students:
use the meaning of fractions and relationships between multiplication and division to understand and explain why the procedures for dividing fractions make sense;
extend their previous understandings of number and the ordering of numbers to the full system of rational numbers, which includes negative rational numbers,
particularly negative integers; and
reason about the order and absolute value of rational numbers and about the location of points on a coordinate plane.
3. Through their learning in the Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities domain, students:
write expressions and equations that correspond to given situations, using variables to represent an unknown and describe relationships between quantities;
understand that expressions in different forms can be equivalent, and use the properties of operations to rewrite and evaluate expressions in equivalent forms; and
use properties of operations and the idea of maintaining the equality of both sides of an equation to solve simple one-step equations.
4. Through their learning in the Geometry domain, students:
find areas of polygons, surface areas of prisms, and use area models to understand perfect squares; and
extend formulas for the volume of a right rectangular prism to fractional side lengths and use volume models to understand perfect cubes.
5. Through their learning in the Statistics and Probability domain, students:
learn to describe and summarize numerical data sets, identifying clusters, peaks, gaps, and symmetry, considering the context in which the data were collected; and
understand the probability of a chance event and develop probability models for simple events.

vote candidate A received, candidate C received three votes.”
2. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to
zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship.
Note: Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.

e.g., “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so
there are ¾ cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” "We paid $75
for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger."
3. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
Note: Strategies may include but are not limited to the following:
tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number
lines, and equations.

lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns
being mowed? What is the unit rate?
Note: Problems may include unit pricing and constant speed.



times the quantity.
d. Use ratio reasoning to convert measurement units; manipulate and transform units
appropriately when multiplying or dividing quantities.

Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

b. Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the
coordinate plane. Recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of
the points are related by reflections across one or both axes.

on a number line.
e.g., Interpret 3 > 7 as a statement that 3 is located to the right
of 7 on a number line oriented from left to right.
b. Write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational numbers in real-world contexts.
e.g., Write 3°C > C to express the fact that 3°C is warmer than
7°C.
c. Understand the absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number
line. Interpret absolute value as magnitude for a positive or negative quantity in a real-world
situation.
e.g., For an account balance of 30 dollars, write |30| = 30 to
describe the size of the debt in dollars.
d. Distinguish comparisons of absolute value from statements about order.
e.g., Someone with a balance of $100 in their bank account has
more money than someone with a balance of $1,000,
because 100 > 1,000. But, the second person’s debt balance
is much greater than the first person’s credit balance because
|–1,000| > |100|.
8. Solve real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points on a coordinate plane. Include
use of coordinates and absolute value to find distances between points with the same first
coordinate or the same second coordinate.

(14)
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Relating expressions (NY-6.EE.6), equations (NY-6.EE.7), and inequalities (NY-6.EE.8) to situations requires making sense of problems (MP.1), reasoning abstractly and
quantitatively (MP.2), and modeling with mathematics (MP.4).

ordered pairs of distances and times.
Given a verbal context and an equation, identify the dependent variable, in terms of the other
quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the
dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation.
e.g., Given the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship
between distance and time, identify t as the independent
variable and d as the dependent variable.

NY-6.SP Statistics and Probability
Develop understanding of statistical variability.
1a. Recognize that a statistical question is one that anticipates variability in the data related
to the question and accounts for it in the answers.
e.g., “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the
students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates
variability in students’ ages.
1b. Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by
examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a
sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population.
Note: Students need to understand that data are generated with respect to
particular contexts or situations and can be used to answer questions
about those contexts or situations.
1c. Understand that the method and sample size used to collect data for a particular
question is intended to reduce the difference between a population and a sample taken
from the population so valid inferences can be drawn about the population. Generate
multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to recognize the variation in
estimates or predictions.
NY-6.SP.1c
NY-7.SP.4
Note: Examples of acceptable methods to obtain a representative sample
from a population include, but are not limited to, a simple random
sample for a given population or a systematic random sample for an
unknown population. Examples of unacceptable methods of sampling
include, but are not limited to, online polls and convenience sampling
because they introduce bias and are not representative of the
population.
2. Understand that a set of quantitative data collected to answer a statistical question has
a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
NY-5.MD.2
NY-6.SP.2
NY-7.SP.3
Notes:
Students need to determine and justify the most appropriate graph to
display a given set of data (histogram or dot plot).
Students extend their knowledge of symmetric shapes, to describe
data displayed in dot plots and histograms in terms of symmetry. They
identify clusters, peaks and gaps, recognizing common shapes and
patterns in these displays of data distributions, and ask why a
distribution takes on a particular shape for the context of the variable
being considered.
(17)
3. Recognize that a measure of center for a quantitative data set summarizes all of its
values with a single number while a measure of variation describes how its values vary
with a single number.
NY-6.SP.3
NY-7.SP.4
Note: Measures of center are mean, median, and mode. The measure of
variation is the range.
Within-Grade Connections:
The standards in this cluster represent opportunities to apply percentages and proportional reasoning. To make inferences about a population, one needs to apply such
reasoning to the sample and the entire population.

b. Describe the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and
its units of measurement.
c. Calculate range and measures of center, as well as describe any overall pattern and any
striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data
were gathered.
NY-6.SP.5c
NY-7.SP.1
Note: Measures of center are mean, median, and mode. The
measure of variation is the range. The role of outliers should
be discussed, but no formula is required.
d. Relate the range and the choice of measures of center to the shape of the data distribution
and the context in which the data were gathered.
Note: Measures of center are mean, median, and mode. The
measure of variation is the range.
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Working with data (NY-6.SP.4 & 5) gives students an opportunity to use appropriate tools strategically (MP.5). For example, spreadsheets can be powerful for working
with a data set with dozens or hundreds of data points.

NY-6.SP Statistics and Probability
Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.
6. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 inclusive, that
expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A
probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around ½ indicates an event that is
neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
7. Approximate the probability of a simple event by collecting data on the chance process that
produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative
frequency given the probability.
e.g., When rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6
would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly
200 times.
Note: Compound events are introduced in grade 7.
8. Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of simple events. Compare
probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible
sources of the discrepancy.
NY-6.SP.8
NY-7.SP.8
a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use
the model to determine probabilities of simple events.
e.g., The probability of rolling a six-sided fair number cube and
landing on a 2 is
. The probability of landing on an even
number is
.
b. Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data
generated from a chance process.
e.g., Find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will
land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end
down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be
equally likely based on the observed frequencies?
Within-Grade Connections:
Probability models draw on proportional reasoning and should be connected to the major work in those standards.

Grade 7 Overview
In Grade 7, instructional time should focus on three areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations
with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; and (3) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. Please note that while every
standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Ratios and Proportional Relationships domain, students:
extend their understanding of ratios and develop understanding of proportionality to solve single- and multi-step problems;
use their understanding of ratios and proportionality to solve a wide variety of percent problems;
solve problems about scale drawings by relating corresponding lengths between the objects or by using the fact that relationships of lengths within an object are
preserved in similar objects;
graph proportional relationships and understand the unit rate informally as a measure of the steepness of the related line; and
distinguish proportional relationships from other relationships.
2. Through their learning in the Number System and the Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities domains, students:
develop a unified understanding of number, recognizing fractions, decimals (that have a finite or a repeating decimal representation), and percents as different
representations of rational numbers;
extend addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to all rational numbers, maintaining the properties of operations and the relationships between addition and
subtraction, and multiplication and division;
explain and interpret the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with negative numbers by applying properties of operations, and view negative
numbers in terms of everyday contexts; and
use the arithmetic of rational numbers as they formulate expressions and equations in one variable and use these equations to solve problems.
3. Through their learning in the Statistics and Probability domain, students:
build on their previous work with single data distributions to compare two data distributions and address questions about differences between populations;
begin informal work with random sampling to generate data sets and learn about the importance of representative samples for drawing inferences; and
extend previous understandings of simple probabilities in grade 6 to calculate probabilities of compound events.

Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
1. Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions.
:
NY-6.RP.2
NY-6.RP.3b
NY-7.RP.1
e.g., If a person walks
mile in each
hour, compute the rate as
the complex fraction
miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per
hour with 2 being the unit rate.
Note: Problems may include ratios of lengths, areas, and other
quantities measured in like or different units, including
across measurement systems.
2. Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
a. Decide whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship.
Note: Strategies include but are not limited to the following:
testing for equivalent ratios in a table and/or graphing on a
coordinate plane and observing whether the graph is a
straight line through the origin.
b. Identify the constant of proportionality (unit rate) in tables, graphs, equations, diagrams, and
verbal descriptions of proportional relationships.

NY-8.EE.6
NY-8.F.2
NY-8.F.4
c. Represent a proportional relationship using an equation.
NY-7.RP.2c
NY-8.EE.5
e.g., If total cost t is proportional to the number n of items
purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the
total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn.
d. Explain what a point (x, y) on the graph of a proportional relationship means in terms of the
situation, with special attention to the points (0, 0) and (1, r) where r is the unit rate.
NY-7.RP.2d
NY-8.F.5
3. Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems.
NY-6.RP.3c
NY-7.RP.3
Note: Examples of percent problems include: simple interest, tax,
markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees,
percent increase and decrease, and percent error.
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Proportional relationships (NY-7.RP.2 & 3) present opportunities for modeling (MP.4). For example, the number of people who live in an apartment building might be
taken as proportional to the number of stories in the building for modeling purposes.

NY-7.NS The Number System
Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply,
and divide rational numbers.
1. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract
rational numbers. Represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line.
a. Describe situations in which opposite quantities combine to make 0.
b. Understand addition of rational numbers; p + q is the number located a distance |q| from p,
in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show
that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of
rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
c. Understand subtraction of rational numbers as adding the additive inverse, pq = p + (q).
Show that the distance between two rational numbers on the number line is the absolute
value of their difference, and apply this principle in real-world contexts.

NY-6.NS.5
NY-6.NS.6
NY-6.NS.7
NY-7.NS.1
2. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to
multiply and divide rational numbers.
a. Understand that multiplication is extended from fractions to rational numbers by requiring
that operations continue to satisfy the properties of operations, particularly the distributive
property, leading to products such as (1)(1) = 1 and the rules for multiplying signed
numbers. Interpret products of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
b. Understand that integers can be divided, provided that the divisor is not zero, and every
quotient of integers (with non-zero divisor) is a rational number. If p and q are integers, then
–(
) =

=

. Interpret quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.
c. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
d. Convert a fraction to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational
number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.
NY-6.NS.1
NY-7.NS.2
NY-8.NS.1
3. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.
Note: Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to
complex fractions limited to
where a, b, c, and d are integers and b, c, and d ≠ 0.
NY-6.NS.3
NY-7.NS.3
Within-Grade Connections:
Because rational number arithmetic (NY-7.NS.1 3) underlies the problem solving detailed in NY-7.EE.3 as well as the solution of linear expressions and equations (NY-
7.EE.1 & 2 and NY-7.EE.4), this work should likely begin at or near the start of the year.

1. Add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients by applying the
properties of operations.
NY-6.EE.3
NY-7.EE.1
NY-8.EE.7
2. Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in real-world and mathematical
problems can reveal and explain how the quantities are related.
NY-6.EE.4
NY-7.EE.2
NY-8.EE.8c
e.g., a + 0.05a and 1.05a are equivalent expressions meaning that
“increase by 5%” is the same as “multiply by 1.05.”
NY-7.EE Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities
Solve real-life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions, equations, and
inequalities.
3. Solve multi-step real-world and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational
numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply
properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as
appropriate. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation
strategies.
e.g.,
If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will
make an additional

of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a
new salary of $27.50.
If you want to place a towel bar 9
inches long in the center
of a door that is 27
inches wide, you will need to place the
bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used
as a check on the exact computation.

4. Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct
simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.
Note: Solving equations that contain variables on both sides is not
an expectation in grade 7.
a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q,
and r are rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic
solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each
approach.
: NY-6.EE.7 NY-7.EE.4a
NY-8.EE.7
NY-8.F.3
e.g., The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What
is its width?
Notes:
The words leading to in the standard may require students to
simplify or combine like terms on the same side of the
equation before it is in the form stated in the standard.
This standard is a fluency expectation for grade 7.
b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r, px + q r, px + q r, or
px + q < r, where p, q, and r are rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality on
the number line and interpret it in the context of the problem.
NY-6.EE.8
NY-7.EE.4b
e.g., As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale.
This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an
inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and
describe the solutions.
Note: The words leading to in the standard may require students to
simplify or combine like terms on the same side of the
equation before it is in the form stated in the standard.
Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.
(12) (13)
Within-Grade Connections:
The work leading to meeting standards NY-7.EE.14 could be divided into two phases, one centered on addition and subtraction (e.g., solving x + q = r) in relation to
rational number addition and subtraction (NY-7.NS.1) and another centered on multiplication and division (e.g., solving px + q = r and p(x + q) = r) in relation to rational
number multiplication and division (NY-7.NS.2).
(14)
Meeting standard NY-7.EE.3 in its entirety will involve using rational number arithmetic (NY-7.NS.1 3) and percents (NY-7.RP.3). Work leading to meeting this standard
could be organized as a recurring activity that tracks the students’ ongoing acquisition of new skills in rational number arithmetic and percents.
(14)
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
When students compare arithmetic and algebraic solutions to the same problem (NY-7.EE.4a), they are identifying correspondences between different approaches
(MP.1).
(14)
Solving an equation such as 4 = 8(x – ½) requires students to see and make use of structure (MP.7), temporarily viewing x ½ as a single entity.

toothpicks), rulers, protractors, and/or technology.
3. Describe the two-dimensional shapes that result from slicing three-dimensional solids parallel or

with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations; (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative
relationships; (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean
Theorem. Please note that while every standard/topic in the grade level has not been included in this overview, all standards should be included in instruction.
1. Through their learning in the Number System, the Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities, and the Probability and Statistics domains, students:
recognize equations for proportions (y/x = m or y = mx) as special linear equations (y = mx + b), understanding that the constant of proportionality (m) is the slope,
and the graphs are lines through the origin;
understand that the slope (m) of a line is a constant rate of change, as well as how the input and output change as a result of the constant rate of change;
interpret a model in the context of the data by expressing a linear relationship between the two quantities in question and interpret components of the relationship
(such as slope and y-intercept) in terms of the situation;
solve systems of two linear equations in two variables and relate the systems to pairs of lines in the plane; these intersect, are parallel, or are the same line; and
use linear equations, systems of linear equations, linear functions, and their understanding of slope of a line to represent, analyze, and solve a variety of problems.
2. Through their learning in the Functions and the Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities domains, students:
grasp the concept of a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output;
understand that functions describe situations where one quantity determines another; and
translate among representations and partial representations of functions (noting that tabular and graphical representations may be partial representations of the
function), and describe how aspects of the function are reflected in the different representations.
3. Through their learning in the Geometry domain, students:
use ideas about distance and angles, how they behave under translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations, and ideas about congruence and similarity to describe
and analyze two-dimensional figures and to solve problems;
show that the sum of the angles in a triangle is the angle formed by a straight line, and that various configurations of lines give rise to similar triangles because of the
angles created when a transversal cuts parallel lines;
understand the statement of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, and why the Pythagorean Theorem holds; and
apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find distances between points on the coordinate plane, to find lengths, and to analyze polygons.

NY-8.NS The Number System
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.
1. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show
that the decimal expansion eventually repeats. Know that other numbers that are not rational are
called irrational.

NY-8.NS.1
AI-N.RN.3
2. Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers,
locate them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions.
Within-Grade Connections:
Work with the number system in this grade (NY-8.NS.1 & 2) is intimately related to work with radicals (NY-8.EE.2), and both of these may be connected to the
Pythagorean theorem (NY-8.G.6 8) as well as to volume problems (NY-8.G.9), e.g., in which a cube has known volume but unknown edge lengths.
(14)
Irrational numbers,
radicals, the Pythagorean Theorem, and volume are nonlinear in nature.

2. Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x

irrational.
NY-8.EE.2
AI-A.REI.4
e.g., The
2
is irrational.
3. Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very
large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other.
e.g., Estimate the population of the United States as 3 × 10
8
and
the population of the world as 7 × 10
9
, and determine that the
world population is more than 20 times larger.
4. Perform multiplication and division with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including
problems where both standard decimal form and scientific notation are used. Use scientific
notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small
quantities. Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology.
NY-8.EE.4
AI-N.Q.3
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Scientific notation (NY-8.EE.4) presents opportunities for strategically using appropriate tools (MP.5). For example, the computation (1.73 × 10
-4
) (1.73 × 10
-5
) can be
done quickly with a calculator by squaring 1.73 and then using properties of exponents to determine the exponent of the product by inspection.

e.g., Compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to
determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
6. Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a
non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin
and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.

equations simultaneously. Recognize when the system has one solution, no solution, or
infinitely many solutions.
b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables with integer coefficients: graphically,
numerically using a table, and algebraically. Solve simple cases by inspection.
e.g., 3x + y = 5 and 3x + y = 6 have no solution because 3x + y cannot
simultaneously be 5 and 6.
Notes:
Solving systems algebraically will be limited to at least one
equation containing at least one variable whose coefficient is 1.

c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving systems of two linear equations in
two variables with integer coefficients.
Note: Solving systems algebraically will be limited to at least one
equation containing at least one variable whose coefficient is 1.
Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Solving an equation such as 3(x – ½) = x + 2 requires students to see and make use of structure (MP.7).

Note: A translation displaces every point in the plane by the same
distance (in the same direction) and can be described using a
vector.
A rotation requires knowing the center/point of rotation and
the measure/direction of the angle of rotation.
A line reflection requires a line and the knowledge of
perpendicular bisectors.
2. Know that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the corresponding angles are

Multiple representations may be used to demonstrate
understanding.
Within-Grade Connections:
An important development takes place in grade 8 when students make connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations (NY-8.EE.5 & 6). The
angle-angle criterion for triangle similarity underlies the fact that a nonvertical line in the coordinate plane has equation y = mx + b (see page 12 of the 6-8 Progression on
Expressions and Equations). Therefore, students must do work with congruence and similarity (NY-8.G.1 5) before they are able to justify the connections among
proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. Hence the indicated geometry work should likely begin at or near the very start of the year.

High School – Introduction
Organization of the High School Standards for Mathematical Content
The standards are organized by course at the high school level. The high school courses include Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The Plus (+) Standards do not make up a
course. They are additional standards that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus, advanced statistics, or discrete mathematics. The Plus (+)
Standards may be dispersed throughout any high school course, including Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, but are not expected to be addressed on state assessments.
The high school courses and the Plus (+) Standards are grouped by conceptual categories. These categories include Number and Quantity, Algebra, Functions, Geometry,
Statistics and Probability, and Modeling. Conceptual categories portray a coherent view of high school mathematics; a student’s work with functions, for example, crosses a
number of courses, potentially up through and including calculus.
Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and
specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol (). The star symbol sometimes appears on the heading for a group of
standards; in that case, it should be understood to apply to all standards in that group.
High School Modeling
Modeling links classroom mathematics and statistics to everyday life, work, and decision-making. Modeling is the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and
statistics to analyze empirical situations, to understand them better, and to improve decisions. Quantities and their relationships in physical, economic, public policy, social,
and everyday situations can be modeled using mathematical and statistical methods. When making mathematical models, technology is valuable for varying assumptions,
exploring consequences, and comparing predictions with data.
A model can be very simple, such as writing total cost as a product of unit price and number bought, or using a geometric shape to describe a physical object like a coin. Even
such simple models involve making choices. It is up to us whether to model a coin as a three-dimensional cylinder, or whether a two-dimensional disk works well enough for
our purposes. Other situationsmodeling a delivery route, a production schedule, or a comparison of loan amortizationsneed more elaborate models that use other tools
from the mathematical sciences. Real-world situations are not organized and labeled for analysis; formulating tractable models, representing such models, and analyzing them
is appropriately a creative process. Like every such process, this depends on acquired expertise as well as creativity.
Some examples of such situations might include:
Estimating how much water and food is needed for emergency relief in a devastated city of 3 million people, and how it might be distributed.
Planning a table tennis tournament for 7 players at a club with 4 tables, where each player plays against each other player.
Designing the layout of the stalls in a school fair so as to raise as much money as possible.
Analyzing stopping distance for a car.
Modeling savings account balance, bacterial colony growth, or investment growth.
Engaging in critical path analysis, e.g., applied to turnaround of an aircraft at an airport.
Analyzing risk in situations such as extreme sports, pandemics, and terrorism.
Relating population statistics to individual predictions.
In situations like these, the models devised depend on a number of factors: How precise an answer do we want or need? What aspects of the situation do we most need to
understand, control, or optimize? What resources of time and tools do we have? The range of models that we can create and analyze is also constrained by the limitations of
New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017)

our mathematical, statistical, and technical skills, and our ability to recognize significant variables and relationships among them. Diagrams of various kinds, spreadsheets and
other technology, and algebra are powerful tools for understanding and solving problems drawn from different types of real-world situations.
One of the insights provided by mathematical modeling is that essentially the same mathematical or statistical structure can sometimes model seemingly different situations.
Models can also shed light on the mathematical structures themselves, for example, as when a model of bacterial growth makes more vivid the explosive growth of the
exponential function.
The basic modeling cycle is summarized in the diagram. It involves (1) identifying variables in the
situation and selecting those that represent essential features, (2) formulating a model by creating and
selecting geometric, graphical, tabular, algebraic, or statistical representations that describe
relationships between the variables, (3) analyzing and performing operations on these relationships to
draw conclusions, (4) interpreting the results of the mathematics in terms of the original situation, (5)
validating the conclusions by comparing them with the situation, and then either improving the model
or, if it is acceptable, (6) reporting on the conclusions and the reasoning behind them. Choices,
assumptions, and approximations are present throughout this cycle.
In descriptive modeling, a model simply describes the phenomena or summarizes them in a compact form. Graphs of observations are a familiar descriptive modelfor
example, graphs of global temperature and atmospheric CO
2
over time.
Analytic modeling seeks to explain data on the basis of deeper theoretical ideas, albeit with parameters that are empirically based; for example, exponential growth of
bacterial colonies (until cut-off mechanisms such as pollution or starvation intervene) follows from a constant reproduction rate. Functions are an important tool for analyzing
such problems.
Graphing utilities, spreadsheets, computer algebra systems, and dynamic geometry software are powerful tools that can be used to model purely mathematical phenomena
(e.g., the behavior of polynomials) as well as physical phenomena.

How to read the High School Standards for Mathematical Content
Standards define what students should understand and be able to do.
Clusters summarize groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject.
Domains are larger groups of related standards. Standards from different domains may sometimes be closely related.
Conceptual Categories provide coherence across the courses.
Coherence Linkages connect standards one grade level forward and/or back when there are very direct linking standards in those grades. For a more thorough analysis
of how standards link to one another, see http://achievethecore.org/coherence-map/.
Citations are indicated by a blue number when information was taken or adapted from another source. The number will match the source number in the
Works Cited section at the end of this document. When viewing these standards electronically, the source information (including page number) will
appear as hover-over text.
High School Courses and Plus (+) Standards
The order in which the standards are presented is not necessarily the order in which the standards need to be taught. Standards from various domains are connected, and
educators will need to determine the best overall design and approach, as well as the instructional strategies needed to support their learners to attain course expectations
and the knowledge articulated in the standards. That is, the standards do not dictate curriculum or teaching methods; learning opportunities and pathways will continue to
vary across schools and school systems, and educators should make every effort to meet the needs of individual students, based on their pedagogical and professional
impressions and information.

Algebra I Overview
Algebra I is the first mathematics course in high school and the focal point is functions; specifically linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. By the end of eighth grade,
students have learned to solve linear equations in one variable and have applied graphical and algebraic methods to analyze and solve systems of linear equations in two
variables. In Algebra I, students analyze and explain precisely the process of solving an equation. Students, through reasoning, develop fluency writing, interpreting, and
translating between various forms of linear equations and inequalities and make conjectures about the form that a linear equation might take in a solution to a problem. They
reason abstractly and quantitatively by choosing and interpreting units in the context of creating equations in two variables to represent relationships between quantities.
They master the solution of linear equations and apply related solution techniques and the properties of exponents to the creation and solution of simple exponential
equations.
Students learn the terminology specific to polynomials and understand that polynomials form a system analogous to that of integers. Students learn function notation and
develop the concepts of domain and range. They explore many examples of functions, including sequences; they interpret functions represented graphically, numerically,
symbolically, and verbally, translate between representations, and understand the limitations of various representations. Students build on their understanding of integer
exponents to consider exponential functions with integer domains. They compare and contrast linear and exponential functions, looking for structure in each and
distinguishing between additive and multiplicative change. Students explore systems of linear and quadratic equations and linear inequalities, and they find and interpret their
solutions. They interpret arithmetic sequences as linear functions and geometric sequences as exponential functions focusing in on the explicit forms of sequences written in
subscript notation. In building models of relationships between two quantities, students analyze the key features of a graph or table of a function.
Students strengthen their ability to discern structure in polynomial expressions. They create and solve equations involving quadratic and cubic expressions. Students reason
abstractly and quantitatively in interpreting parts of an expression that represent a quantity in terms of its context; they also learn to make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them by choosing or producing equivalent forms of an expression. Students consider quadratic functions, comparing the key characteristics of quadratic functions to
those of linear and exponential functions. They learn through repeated reasoning to anticipate the graph of a quadratic function by interpreting the structure of various forms
of quadratic expressions. In particular, they identify the real solutions of a quadratic equation as the zeros of a related quadratic function, which may require students to write
solutions in simplest radical form.
Students expand their experience with functions to include more specialized functionslinear, exponential, quadratic, square, and those that are piecewise-defined, including
absolute value and step. Students select from among these functions to model phenomena using the modeling cycle.
Students build upon prior experiences with data, and are introduced to working with more formal means of assessing how a model fits data. Students display and interpret
graphical representations of data, and if appropriate, choose regression techniques when building a model that approximates a linear relationship between quantities. They
analyze their knowledge of the context of a situation to justify their choice of a linear model, compute and interpret the correlation coefficient, and distinguish between
situations of correlation and causation.

(MP.6) involves describing an idea precisely (AI-A.CED.3 and AI-A.REI.1a), which helps students understand the idea in new ways.

An effective way to help students develop the skill of describing general relationships is to work through several specific examples and then express what they are doing
with algebraic symbolism (AI-A.CED.1-3). For example, when comparing two different text messaging plans, many students who can compute the cost for a given number
of minutes have a hard time writing general formulas that express the cost of each plan for any number of minutes. Constructing these formulas can be facilitated by
methodically calculating the cost for several different input values and then expressing the steps in the calculation, first in words and then in algebraic symbols. Once
such expressions are obtained, students can find the break-even point for the two plans, graph the total cost against the number of messages sent, and make a complete
analysis of the two plans. This is an example of looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning (MP.8).

exponential functions.
Coherence:

a. Justify that a function is linear because it grows by equal differences over equal
intervals, and that a function is exponential because it grows by equal factors over
equal intervals.
b. Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit
interval relative to another, and therefore can be modeled linearly.
e.g., A flower grows two inches per day.
c. Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate
per unit interval relative to another, and therefore can be modeled exponentially.
e.g., A flower doubles in size after each day.
2. Construct a linear or exponential function symbolically given:
i) a graph;

Geometry Overview
Geometry is intended to be the second course in mathematics for high school students. During high school, students begin to formalize their geometry experiences from
elementary and middle school, using more precise definitions to establish the validity of geometric conjectures through deduction, proof, or mathematical arguments. Over
the years, students develop an understanding of the attributes and relationships of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes that can be applied in diverse contexts.
The concepts of congruence, similarity, and symmetry can be understood from the perspective of geometric transformations. Fundamental are the rigid motions: translations,
rotations, reflections, and sequences of these, all of which are here assumed to preserve distance and angle measure reflections and rotations each explain a particular type of
symmetry leading to insight into a figure’s attributes. Two geometric figures are defined to be congruent if there is a sequence of rigid motions that maps one figure onto the
other. For triangles, congruence means that all corresponding pairs of sides and all corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. This leads to the triangle congruence criteria
ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL). Once these criteria are established using rigid motions, they can be used to prove theorems about triangles, quadrilaterals, and
other geometric figures.
Similarity transformations define similarity as a sequence of dilations and/or rigid motions that maps one figure onto another. Students formalize the similarity ideas of "same
shape" and "scale factor" developed in the middle grades by establishing that similar triangles have all pairs of corresponding angles congruent and all corresponding pairs of
sides proportional. These transformations lead to the criteria AA, SSS similarity, and SAS similarity for similar triangles.
The definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent for acute angles are founded on right triangles and similarity, along with the Pythagorean Theorem and are fundamental in many
mathematical situations. Radian measure will be introduced in Algebra II, along with the unit circle.
Students’ experience with two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects is extended to include informal explanations of circumference, area, and volume formulas.
Additionally, students apply their knowledge of two-dimensional shapes to consider the shapes of cross-sections and the result of rotating a two-dimensional object about a
line. They reason abstractly and quantitatively to model problems using volume formulas.
Students prove and apply basic theorems about circles and study relationships among segments on chords, secants, and tangents as an application of similarity. In the
Cartesian coordinate system, students explain the correspondence between the definition of a circle and the equation of a circle written in terms of the distance formula, its
radius, and coordinates of its center. Given an equation of a circle, students graph the circle in the coordinate plane and apply techniques for solving quadratic equations.
Note: For scaffolding purposes, the use of a variety of tools and methods for construction is encouraged. These scaffolds include compass and straightedge, string, reflective
devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc. Dynamic geometry environments provide students with experimental and modeling tools that allow them to
investigate geometric phenomena using visualization, reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems, in much the same way as computer algebra systems allow them to
experiment with algebraic phenomena. Students can create geometric models and ideas to solve not only problems in mathematics, but in other disciplines or everyday
situations.

Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Abstraction (MP.2) is used in geometry when, for example, students use a diagram of a specific isosceles triangle as an aid to reason about all isosceles triangles
(GEO-G.CO.9).
(14)
When students develop the skill of creating and presenting proofs (GEO-G.CO.9 & 10), they are constructing viable arguments and have opportunities to critique the
reasoning of others (MP.3).
(14)
Seeing structure in geometric configurations (MP.7) can lead to insights and proofs. This often involves the creation of auxiliary lines not originally part of a given figure.
Two classic examples are the construction of a line through a vertex of a triangle parallel to the opposite side as a way to see that the angle measures of a triangle add to
180 degrees and the introduction of a symmetry line in an isosceles triangle to see that the base angles are congruent (GEO-G.CO.9 & 10).

13. Make and justify the constructions for inscribing an equilateral triangle, a
square and a regular hexagon in a circle.
Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to forgetting,
and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have established a
strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.
(12) (13)
Connecting the Standards for Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Content:
Dynamic geometry environments can help students look for invariants in a whole class of geometric constructions (GEO-G.CO.12 & 13), and the constructions in such
environments can sometimes lead to an idea behind a proof of a conjecture. This is an example of using appropriate tools strategically (MP.5).

o The centroid of the triangle divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
5. Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to:
a. Solve problems algebraically and geometrically.
b. Prove relationships in geometric figures.
Notes:
ASA, SAS, SSS, AAS, and Hypotenuse-Leg (HL) theorems are valid criteria for

similarity.
This standard is a fluency recommendation for Geometry. Fluency with the

Algebra II Overview
Algebra II is the capstone course of the three high school mathematics courses and is a continuation and extension of the two courses that precede it. Building on their work
with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions in Algebra I, students in Algebra II extend their repertoire of functions to include polynomial, rational, radical, and
trigonometric functions. Students work closely with the expressions that define the functions and continue to expand and hone their abilities to model situations and to solve
equations, including solving quadratic equations over the set of complex numbers, and solving exponential equations using the properties of logarithms.
Students draw on analogies between polynomial arithmetic and base-ten computation, focusing on properties of operations, particularly the distributive property. Students
connect the structure inherent in multi-digit whole number multiplication with multiplication of polynomials and similarly connect division of polynomials with long division of
integers. Students identify zeros of polynomials, including complex zeros of quadratic polynomials. Through regularity in repeated reasoning, they make connections between
zeros of polynomials and solutions of polynomial equations. Students analyze the key features of a graph or table of a polynomial function and relate those features back to
the two quantities the function is modeling.
Building on their previous work with functions, and on their work with trigonometric ratios and circles in Geometry, students extend trigonometric functions to all (or most)
real numbers. To reinforce their understanding of these functions, students begin building fluency with the values of sine, cosine, and tangent at π/6, π/4, π/3, π/2, etc.
Students make sense of periodic phenomena as they model with trigonometric functions.
Students synthesize and generalize what they have learned about a variety of function families. They extend their work with exponential functions to include solving
exponential equations with logarithms as well as understanding the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions. They explore (with appropriate tools)
the effects of transformations on graphs of diverse functions, including functions arising in an application. Students identify appropriate types of functions to model a situation.
They adjust parameters to improve the model, and they compare models by analyzing appropriateness of fit and making judgments about the domain over which a model is a
good fit. With repeated opportunities in working through the modeling cycle, students acquire the insight that the same mathematical or statistical structure can sometimes
model seemingly different situations.
Students see how the visual displays and summary statistics they learned in earlier grades relate to different types of data and to probability distributions. They identify
different ways of collecting data, including sample surveys, observational studies, and experiments. Using simulation, randomization, and careful design, students make
inferences, justify conclusions, and critique statistical claims. Students create theoretical and experimental probability models following the modeling cycle. They compute and
interpret probabilities from those models for compound events, attending to mutually exclusive events, independent events, and conditional probability.
Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.

Extend the properties of exponents to rational exponents.
1. Explore how the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the
properties of integer exponents.
e.g., We define 5

to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5
1/3
)

to hold,
so 5

must equal 5.
2. Convert between radical expressions and expressions with rational exponents
using the properties of exponents.
Note: All radical expressions involving variables assume the variables are
representing positive numbers. Includes expressions with variable factors, such
as

everything from advanced factoring (e.g., grouping) to summing series, to
rewriting of rational expressions, to examining the end behavior of the

Note on Fluency with Procedures:
Fluency with procedures (procedural fluency) means students are accurate, efficient, flexible, and know when and how to use them appropriately. Developing fluency
requires understanding why and how a procedure works. Understanding makes learning procedures easier, less susceptible to common errors, less prone to
forgetting, and easier to apply in new situations. Students also need opportunities to practice on a moderate number of carefully selected problems after they have
established a strong conceptual foundation of the mathematical basis for the procedure.

The Plus (+) Standards Overview
The Plus (+) Standards offer additional mathematics beyond Algebra II that students should learn in order to take advanced courses such as calculus, advanced statistics, or
discrete mathematics. The Plus (+) Standards are not a high school course. The Plus (+) standards however, may be dispersed throughout course curriculums, including Algebra
I, Algebra II and Geometry to increase rigor and support the needs of individual students and mathematical programs, but are not expected to be addressed on state
assessments. Plus (+) Standards provide coherence and extend concepts previously taught in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.
In Algebra II, students extended their understanding of number to include complex numbers as they studied polynomials with complex zeros. In the Plus (+) Standards,
students graph complex numbers in the complex plane and translate between rectangular and polar forms of complex numbers. Thinking of a complex number, a + bi, once
again as a point (a,b) in the coordinate plane, students investigate how multiplying by a complex number can be thought of as a map from the coordinate plane to itself. That
study, in turn, leads to matrix notation and a natural definition for multiplying a vector by a matrix. Thus, students discern structure in the operations with matrices and
vectors by comparing them to arithmetic with complex numbers.
Students study matrices and vectors as objects in their own right. They interpret the properties and operations of matrices to learn multiple ways to solve problems with them,
including solving systems of linear equations. They construct viable arguments using matrices to once again derive equations for conic sections, this time by translating and
rotating the locus of points into a “standard” position using matrix operations. (For example, applying rigid motions to move the directrix of a parabola to one of the
coordinate axes.) Students precisely define rotations, reflections and dilations in the coordinate plane using 2 × 2 matrices (and translations by vector addition). These well-
defined definitions of transformations of the coordinate plane shed light on how geometry software and video games efficiently perform rigid motion calculations.
Students further study rational and exponential functions. They graph rational functions by extending what they learned about graphing polynomials functions. Students, build
off their knowledge of the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions, to solidify the meaning of inverse functions. Additionally, students learn to explicitly
build composite functions to model relationships between two quantities. In particular, they analyze the composite of two functions in describing the relationship of three or
more quantities in modeling situations.
Students visualize graphs of trigonometric functions with the aid of appropriate software and interpret how a family of graphs defined by varying a parameter in a given
function changes based upon that parameter. They analyze symmetry and periodicity of trigonometric functions. They extend their knowledge of inverse functions to
trigonometric functions by restricting domains to create the inverses, and apply inverse functions to solve trigonometric equations that arise in modeling contexts. Students
also construct viable arguments to prove the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, and the addition and subtraction formulas for the trigonometric functions.
Students consolidate their study of statistics as they analyze decisions and strategies using newly refined skills in calculating expected values to solve problems such as
comparing high-deductible vs. low deductible insurance policies. Students model with probability and simulate probability outcomes using technology in order to make fair
decisions as well as calculate permutations and combinations. Technology also plays an important role in statistics by making it possible to generate residual line plots to
analyze regression functions
