How to read a standard code

A Common Core math code such as 4.NF.A.1 reads grade, domain, cluster, standard: grade 4, Number and Operations - Fractions, cluster A, standard 1. An NGSS code such as MS-LS1-6 reads grade band, discipline and core idea, then the performance expectation number: middle school, life science core idea 1, expectation 6.

Many states use these standards directly or under their own name with the same structure, so the explanations and practice here line up with most state frameworks. Check your own state's documents for any local changes in wording.

FAQ

What is on each standard page?

The official wording of the standard, a plain-English explanation of what it asks students to do, the misconceptions teachers see most, a worked example or model answer, original practice questions with explanations, and the standards that come before and after it.

Are the practice questions taken from state tests?

No. Every question is original and written for the skill in the standard. None are copied from state assessments or published tests.

Can I make a lesson for a specific standard?

Yes. Each page has a Make a lesson button that opens the lesson generator with the standard and grade already filled in, plus links to make a worksheet or a self-marking test.
