NCDPI Seeking Input on Math Standards

The NCDPI K-12 Math team is excited to announce the release of the second draft of proposed revisions to the K-12 Math Standard Course of Study. North Carolina State Board of Education policy specifies that the NC Department of Public Instruction will formally collect feedback on the proposed draft standards from educators, administrators, parents, students, institutions of higher education, business/industry representatives, national organizations, and other education agencies. The purpose of this survey is to obtain input from stakeholders on Draft 2 of the proposed 2026 K-12 Math Standard Course of Study to inform additional revisions, which may include changes, clarifications, additions, deletions, or replacements to the current standards and standards proposed in Draft 2. 

The K-12 Math team requests your thoughtful input and comments on Draft 2 of the proposed K-12 Math standards. Your insights are a key part of informing and guiding the revision process. To help you review the Draft 2 standards and provide feedback, the K-12 Math team is sharing several resources to provide additional background information. These include:

• Draft 2 Video and Draft 2 Video Script -The video gives a high-level overview of the standards drafting process, highlights some key points of interest with Draft 2, as well as some of the resources below. 
• Summary of K-12 Draft 2 Notes - This document provides greater detail on some of the recommended edits/revisions to Draft 2 based on previous feedback. 
• 2026 K-12 Math Standards FAQ 
• K-12 Progressions - This folder contains the vertical progressions for K-5, 6-8, Math 1 and 2, as well as the new progressions document, which outlines the vertical alignment for the proposed new high school courses. The folder also has a spreadsheet with all of the draft 2 standards by grade/course.
• AP Precalculus resources - We have provided revised versions of these resources based on edits to Draft 2
  • AP Precalculus Expected Levels of Understanding 
  • AP Precalculus Framework
• Recommended Placement of NC Math 3 and NC Math 4 standards based on Draft 2 revisions
  • NC Math 3 standards
  • NC Math 4 standards

Participants have the choice of providing either specific standard-by-standard feedback for any or all grades and courses OR choosing a more abbreviated 10-question survey giving feedback on the Draft 2 K-12 standards as a whole. 

Thank you for being a vital part in the review and revision of the North Carolina K-12 Math standards. 

All survey responses must be submitted by 5:00pm EST on Monday, May 18th, 2026.
