Mathematics

Having strong STEM subject-area foundations will equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to be college and career ready. The Oklahoma State Department of Education collaborates with Oklahoma educators to develop and identify high-quality resources for teachers and districts. Oklahoma resources include the OK Math Framework, guidance documents and research, and accessible professional development.

Oklahoma educators and stakeholders participated in the review of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics (OAS-M) in 2021. The writing and draft review teams spent the summer of 2021 carefully reviewing each standard and objective, making revisions as needed. Their final draft was submitted to the Oklahoma State Board of Education, reviewed, and approved for implementation in the fall of 2023.

Statistics & Probability and Precalculus standards are now included in the 2022 Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics. 

Note: Precalculus standards include a Trigonometry strand that outlines desired student outcomes for teaching Trigonometry (course 4750), sufficient for ½ unit of credit.

Competencies provide a pathway for teachers who are looking to guide their students to the next mathematical level. Competencies are available for those schools/districts that offer Math of Finance and Intermediate Algebra.

The competency committee reviewed existing competencies within and outside of Oklahoma, high school and college course syllabi, vertical alignment documents, the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics, and the NCTM Essential Understandings for High School Mathematics to determine which essential skills should be included in Math of Finance and Intermediate Algebra.

Under 70 O.S. § 11-103.6, Oklahoma school districts may develop and propose locally approved, math- or science-based application courses for high school. These courses must align with the Oklahoma Academic Standards and receive approval from the local school board. Districts are required to notify the Oklahoma State Department of Education using the designated form by July 1. Learn more about proposing a locally approved course.
