Alignment of the Standard Level Mathematics Course of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program to the Common Program to the Common Core State Standards

All public high school students are required to meet current state high school content standards despite enrollment in special programs, such as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Recently, the state of Michigan adopted the Common Core State Standards to replace the previous Mathematics and English Language Arts content expectations. Therefore, this capstone project aligns the course content from the Standard Level Mathematics course, as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, to the Common Core State Standards to ensure students enrolled in the course will meet the high school math content requirements. The alignment document produced in this project demonstrates the correlation between each objective in the Standard Level IB math course to the Common Core Content Standard, as well as the primary Mathematical Practice Standard. The use of curriculum mapping is also discussed and initial stages of the fluid document were created, followed by recommendations for continued mapping by future instructors of the course.
