California Mathematics Curriculum Alignment

The California Content Standards (December 1997) were used to develop curriculum alignment for California. All grade level standards and course standards were used except the Mathematical Analysis course. The referencing of the content standards follows closely with the numbering of the document. In a reference of 2NS.1.1, the 2 indicates the grade level, NS indicates the strand (Number Sense), and 1.1 indicates the skill number. The skills from the California High School Exit Exam are also referenced using (HSEE) after the corresponding content standard.

California Language Arts Curriculum Alignment

The English-Language Arts Content Standards for California Public Schools (1997) document was used to develop curriculum alignment for California. Grades one through eight for the Writing and Written and Oral English Language Conventions strands of the Language Arts Content Standards were used in the matching process. There were also minimal matches within the Reading strand and no matches to the Listening and Speaking strand. The referencing of the content standards follows closely with the numbering of the document. In a reference of 1W1.3, the 1 indicates the grade level, W indicates the strand (W for Writing, WOL for Written and Oral English Language Conventions, and R for Reading), and 1.3 indicates the standard.

In a reference of 2R.1.7, 2 indicates the grade level, R indicates the strand (R for Reading), and 1.7 indicates the standard.
