Curricula and Standards
New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards. The Board of Regents adopted the newly revised English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards on September 11, 2017.
- New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning StandardsThe New York State Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards (2017) reflect revisions, additions, vertical movement, and clarifications to the current mathematics standards. The Standards are defined as the knowledge, skills and understanding that individuals can and do habitually demonstrate over time because of instruction and learning experiences.
- NYS Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards CrosswalksThe crosswalk documents are a reference tool for educators and parents to efficiently compare the changes between the 2011 New York State P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics and the 2017 Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards.
