New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED). Mathematics and English language arts are the New Mexico Common Core State Standards (CCSS adopted 2010-11-29), ELA carrying New Mexico's additional 15% cultural-responsiveness standards (6.29.13 NMAC). Science is the NM-specific half of the NM STEM Ready! Science Standards (NGSS + 6 New Mexico standards, 2018). Social studies is the New Mexico Social Studies Standards (adopted February 2022). Health and physical education are New Mexico's own K-4 and 5-8 standards. Standard text is verbatim, abridged where very long; sex-education content is omitted per site policy.
Standard text here is reproduced from those documents. We do not rewrite, renumber or reword a standard. Where a source is ambiguous or has been revised since we read it, the state’s document is the authority.
