The North Carolina Mathematics Standard Course of Study provides a set of mathematical competencies for each grade and high school course to ensure rigorous student academic performance standards that are uniform across the state. It is based on a philosophy of teaching and learning mathematics that is consistent with the current research, exemplary practices, and national standards.

The North Carolina Mathematics Standard Course of Study is organized in five strands or goals for K-8: Number and Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Data Analysis and Probability, and Algebra. (Geometry and Measurement are combined for grades 9-12.) The objectives for each goal progress in complexity at each grade level and throughout the high school courses. It is the framework upon which classroom instruction and assessment should be planned. It is the ultimate guide for textbook selections and the foundation of the North Carolina testing program. A variety of North Carolina Department of Public Instruction support documents articulate and enhance this curriculum. The Standard Course of Study describes the mathematical concepts, skills, operations, and relationships that are the significant mathematics that all North Carolina students should learn and understand. This is the mathematics that will give North Carolina students the greatest opportunity to shape their futures.
