South Carolina Academic Standards for Mathematics

Abstract
Beginning in 2004, the term for the state-approved expectations for student learning and academic performance in South Carolina was changed from curriculum standards to academic standards. In accordance with the South Carolina Education Accountability Act of 1998 (S.C. Code Ann. § 59-18-110), State Board of Education Regulation 43-234 explains the purpose of academic standards thusly: Each school district board of trustees will ensure quality schooling by providing a rigorous, relevant curriculum for all students. Each school district must use the academic achievement standards adopted by the State Board of Education to push schools and students toward high performance by aligning assessments to those standards and linking policies and criteria for performance standards, accreditation, reporting, school rewards, and targeted assistance. The South Carolina Mathematics Academic Standards is not a curriculum. The academic standards in this document are not sequenced for instruction, do not prescribe classroom activities or materials, and do not dictate instructional strategies, approaches, and practices. A mathematics standards support document, issued by the State Department of Education (SDE), will serve as a resource for districts in constructing district level, standards-based mathematics curriculum. By constructing individual district mathematics curriculum, districts may add or expand topics and organize content to fit a district’s students’ needs.
