CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the California Math Curriculum
How California Mathematics Standards Work
California sets its own mathematics standards, organizing expectations by grade and strand from Kindergarten through high school into named courses.
How California Differs
California offers both a traditional sequence and an integrated Mathematics I, II, III pathway, giving districts flexibility that most other states do not provide.
How California Math Progresses
Students move from number sense in early grades through algebra and geometry, then into advanced courses including AP Statistics and Calculus.
How California Assesses Math
CAASPP tests math in 3rd through 8th grade, plus end-of-course exams, with SAT and AP exams supporting college readiness in the senior years.
