2011 STANDARDS (Grades 3–8 only)
Each standard code consists of four components separated by periods (e.g., 3.NBT.1.02).
  • The first component identifies the grade (3–8).
  • The second component identifies the domain (e.g., NBT is the abbreviation for Numbers and Operations in Base Ten).
  • The third component identifies the cluster (e.g., cluster 1 under NBT for grade 3 is "Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic").
  • The fourth component identifies the standard number (01-10).
A dash in this column indicates that the item does not code to a 2011 standard at this grade level.
