How to Use This List

A benchmark is one specific skill your child is expected to learn this year. Each code tells you the grade and the strand:MA.1.NSO.1.1 is a Grade 1 benchmark.

If your child's FAST report shows a weak reporting category, use the Grade 1 math guide to see which skills it includes, then find them below.
