2022 Minnesota Academic Standards in Mathematics
Minnesota Department of Education
During the 2021-22 school year, the Mathematics Standards Review Committee reviewed the 2007 Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Mathematics, other states' recently revised standards, current academic research, K-12 instructional best practices and public feedback. This review process followed the guidelines in Minnesota Statutes 2023, section 120B.021, subdivision 4e. The standards and anchor standards provide a summary description of student learning. The kindergarten through grade 12 benchmarks identify a "specific knowledge or skill that a student must master to complete part of an academic standard by the end of the grade level or grade band." The organization and structure of the 2022 Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Mathematics communicate how mathematics education is conceptualized for Minnesota students. The standards are ordered by grade, beginning in kindergarten (represented by zero) and ending in high school (represented by 9). In each grade the standards are subdivided into strand, anchor standard and benchmark. Additional dimensions within benchmarks are mathematical practices and benchmark contexts, which serve to encourage integration of concepts through process and context. The three strands--Data and Probability, Spatial Reasoning and Patterns and Relationships--organize the standards. Most grades have seven anchor standards that are consistent across kindergarten through grade 11. Each standard will have one or more benchmarks that are grade-level specific that define a specific knowledge or skill a student must master. The benchmarks are placed at the end of the grade level where mastery is expected, with the recognition that a progression of learning experiences in earlier grades builds the foundation for mastery later on.
