Indiana K–6 mathematics standards
Indiana writes its own mathematics standards. They are published as Indiana Academic Standards Mathematics, adopted 2023 and are not a version of a national framework. 151 of 207 are matched to a national standard.
Prioritized Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics, adopted by the Indiana State Board of Education 2023-06-07. Indiana withdrew from the Common Core in 2014 and these are its own standards; IDOE publishes separate IAS/CCSS correlation guides precisely because they are not the same document. Codes K.PS.1-6.PS.8 carry a grade prefix that is OURS, not Indiana's — see the manifest note on derived identifiers.

Say the number names in standard order when counting objects, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that the last number name said describes the number of objects counted and that the number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. Count out the number of objects, given a number from 1 to 20.

Demonstrate fluency with addition facts and the corresponding subtraction facts within 20. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a 10 (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13). Model the role of 0 and the equal sign in addition and subtraction using objects or drawings.
- 1.CA.21
Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction within 20 in situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all parts of the addition or subtraction problem (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem).
- 1.CA.31
Using number sense and place value strategies, add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10.

Use two-dimensional shapes (e.g., rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (e.g., cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
- 1.G.31
Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts; describe the parts using the words halves, fourths, and quarters; and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of, the parts. Understand for partitioning circles and rectangles into two and four equal parts that decomposing into equal parts creates smaller parts.

Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation.
