A tool for exploring changes to the standards.
Click here to access the newest standards.
Developed by the Broome-Tioga BOCES, this version of the standards looks the same, but has "hover-over" options and links to supporting documents.
This link will take you to abbreviated versions of the Next Generation Mathematics Standards (Snapshots) and to grade-by-grade comparisons between current standards and the new standards (Crosswalks).
A glossary of terms used in the new Mathematics standards. Understanding these verbs as they relate to the standards is critical for student learning and cross-grade level uniformity.
If you teach math, you want to read this article from Stanford. Although written for those who work with ELL students, the principles discussed work with ALL children!
Are you wondering how the Next Generation Math Standards align with your topics? Click here to find grade-specific alignment documents that will help you adapt the current modules to meet the new standards.
Progressions
The following documents were developed by the State-wide Mathematics group. Each follows a concept's progression from Kindergarten through Algebra II, and are useful when unpacking the standards.
*Measurement, Data, Statistics, & Probability
Data Trends
Below are links to 3-8 testing data trends for Mathematics from 2013 through 2017. They show the frequency of tested standards, and they have links to the released questions, which could be used by teachers in their instruction.

Mathematical Practices Place Mats
What do the practices look like in action? Try your hand at identifying key attributes in this sorting activity.
* Print this place mat and read the directions
* Print these cards and complete the activity
* Do NOT print these answers until you are ready to check your work!
Mathematical Practices Posters
Print these fantastic posters, developed by the Jordan School District in Utah, and hang them on your walls. Use them as talking points during your lessons... which practices are you currently engaged in?
The Big Ideas
This is an opportunity to dig into the most significant shift in the NYS Standards: the Practices. Practices have been identified for Reading and Writing, as well as for Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. How do they tie to our planning, our instruction, and the children's learning?
Step One: Download this document and take a look at the Common Practices
Step Two: Use The Big Ideas document to begin to identify commonalities and to brainstorm next steps
