Georgia Performance Standards - Mathematics

Click Here to View the Document

The most noticeable difference between the former and the new curriculum in mathematics for Georgia schools is the use of performance standards. A performance standard has four components: a content standard, illustrative tasks, examples of student work, and teacher commentary. Together, these components will be the teacher’s guide as to what to teach, how thoroughly to treat a topic, and what some instances of student work that meet the content standard might look like.
