The math learning progressions below were downloaded from OGAP Math LLC. You can open and download the progression by clicking on the image. The student work examples that are used to illustrate how to use the progressions and interpret student work were taken from the accompanying OGAP books referenced below under "To go deeper" and published by Routledge as part of their Bringing Mathematics Education Research to the Classroom Series.
We suggest the following learning progressions by grade span, although looking across all progressions can help an educator better understand how students develop mathematical skills across the K-8 grade span:
K-2: Base Ten Number Progression | Addition & Subtraction Progression
Gr 3-4: Addition & Subtraction Progression | Multiplication & Division Progression | Fractions Progression
Gr 5-6: Multiplication & Division Progression | Fractions Progression | Ratio & Proportions Progression
Gr 7-8: Fractions Progression | Ratio & Proportions Progression

These videos show how students develop mathematical skills by showing examples of increasingly more sophisticated thinking and how it connects to later mathematical reasoning.
