Title:Mathematics benchmarks grades K-12
Source:http://www.utdanacenter.org/k12mathbenchmarks/
Date: 
Organization:Achieve, Inc. and the Charles A. Dana Center
Short Description:The American Diploma Project (ADP) benchmarks for the end of high school describe the skills students need for success in postsecondary education and the workplace. This site provides benchmarks for K-12 that detail the content and skills students need to master in order to meet the ADP benchmarks.
Annotation:Achieve created the American Diploma Project (ADP) mathematics benchmarks for the end of high school to describe the skills needed for success in postsecondary education and the workplace. The benchmarks are cumulative, describing what students need to learn by the end of high school. Now, Achieve has mapped out what students need to know and be able to do in mathematics in grades K–12, seamlessly connecting the expectations throughout the grades with those for the end of high school. These benchmarks outline a progression of mathematics content throughout grades K–12 that, if followed, will ensure that students master the content needed to be successful in college and careers.
