Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (9-12) Quick Reference Guide
CCSS Mathematics Standards for High School
Mathematics consists of two standards – standards for Mathematical Practice and
Mathematical Content standards.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
Standards of mathematical practice describe ways students ought to engage with the subject matter as
they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise throughout elementary, middle and high school
years.
Mathematical practices need to be connected to mathematical content through mathematics
instruction.
The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at
all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important “processes and
proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education, as set by National Council of
Teachers of Math (NCTM) process standards and the National Research Council (NRC) strands of
mathematical proficiency.

Specify the mathematics that all students should study to be college and career ready
Additional mathematics students should learn to take advanced courses such as
calculus, advanced statistics, or discrete mathematics is indicated by (+) symbol.
All standards without a (+) symbol should be in the common mathematics curriculum for
all college and career ready students.
High Schools standards are listed in conceptual categories: (NOTE: Conceptual
categories portray a coherent view of high school mathematics; student’s work with a
specific category crosses a number of traditional course boundaries, potentially up
through and including calculus.)
o Number and Quantity
o Algebra
o Functions
o Modeling (NOTE: Modeling is best interpreted in relation to other standards.
Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and
specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards
indicated by a star symbol (*). The star symbol sometimes appears on the
heading for a group of standards, in that case, it should be understood to apply
to all standards in that group.)
o Geometry
o Statistics and Probability
