TN Math Users Guide for 2009-2010 Standards
Please reference the above Tennessee Mathematics User’s Guide designed to assist in the implementation of the 2009-2010 version of the Tennessee Mathematics Curriculum Framework. The revised mathematics standards resulted from the efforts of committees comprising mathematics educators from across the state. The new standards are:
- Focused on major mathematics themes and their contextual applications
- Organized and consistent across the grade bands
- Stated clearly and concisely Increasingly complex across grade bands K-12
- Aligned with both the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum
Focal Points for Prekindergarten through Grade 8 Mathematics
and the Principals
and Standards for School Mathematics, American
Diploma Project Benchmarks, National
Association for Educational Progress standards,
and ACT Standards
Organization of the New Standards
There are still five strands; two former ones have been combined and one new one has been added:
- Mathematical Processes – New Strand*
- Number and Operation – Content Strand
- Algebra– Content Strand
- Geometry and Measurement– Content Strand
- Data Analysis, Probability, Statistics– Content Strand
Each Strand is composed of three major parts:
- Grade Level Expectations or Course Level Expectations
- Checks for Understanding
- State Performance Indicators
New Strand*: The Grade Level Expectations for the Mathematical Processes Strand are the same for grade bands K-8 and for 9-12. The Checks for Understanding and the SPIs differ at each grade/course level.

Advanced placement mathematics courses are listed below. Descriptions for these courses may be found in the Advanced Placement Course Descriptions provided by the College Board. Students may receive credit for only ONE of the following: Algebra I, CTE Algebra, or Integrated Mathematics I. It is strongly recommended that students who begin in the Traditional Program (Alg I, Geom, Alg II) not move to the integrated program. Transfer students may be an exception to this recommendation.
