This brief describes the comparison between the Common Core State Standards and the National Mathematics Advisory Panel’s (NMAP) recommendations found in Foundation for Success. The conclusion is “Overall, the CCSS and the NMAP recommendations are similarly rigorous. The two documents describe a substantially similar body of knowledge associated with algebra. Policymakers can be assured that in adopting the CCSS they will be setting learning expectations for students that are similar to those advocated by the NMAP.” The brief can be downloaded here.
