Idaho State Department of Education

This is an exciting time for Idaho's mathematics educators. With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards [CCSS], Idaho will build on the research and evidence of the last two decades and move towards preparing Idaho students to be college and career ready.

These standards aren't a move towards reforming mathematics education; these standards are a move towards transforming mathematics education. Significant changes will occur in instruction, curriculum, and assessment. Quality implementation is key.

What you will notice about these standards:

• Committed to college and career readiness
• Based on evidence of what students need at each step along the way to be college and career ready
• Honest about the time required to teach a concept with depth
• K-5 — focus on number and operation
• K-7 — graded ramp up to algebra through fractions, ratios and proportional reasoning
• 6-8 — rich hands on work with ratios, geometry, statistics and probability
• HS — rigorous algebra, geometry, modeling, statistics and probability
• — emphasis throughout on problem solving, quantitative reasoning, and modeling
