State standards
Updated October 24, 2026
You can select any U.S. state or the District of Columbia. The sheet names that state's math standards. The worked key changes its steps only when that state's standard describes a different written method. We do not invent a code we do not have.
What changes
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and decimals have two written methods in this press. Place value is the method Common Core describes at the grade of the codes we print: partial sums, counting up, partial products, and partial quotients. The standard algorithm is the column method, with regrouping when the column needs it.
Florida B.E.S.T. uses the standard algorithm on those skills, because those benchmarks call for procedural reliability. Texas TEKS 4.4A names the standard algorithm for addition, subtraction, and decimals. Texas TEKS 4.4D and 4.4F name strategies and the standard algorithm for multiplication and division, so the Texas key shows both.
A state that still uses the Common Core identifier gets that code under the state's own standards name, and the place-value steps. Choosing California or Ohio does not invent two different procedures, because both standards describe the same written method for that code.
What does not change
Fractions, geometry, algebra, and the other topics keep one procedure. The key says the procedure is the same in every state. College topics are marked Beyond K–12. They are not given a fake K–12 code.
Alaska, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia write their own numbers. The sheet names that document and matches the skill to the Common Core code. It does not print a state number we have not verified.
New York's line uses the Next Generation code. The steps stay the place-value method, because that is the method the matching Common Core code describes.
What a code means
A shared code rebuilds the same problems. The steps follow the state selected on the press that opens the code. A sheet saved on the device keeps the state it was made with until you make it again.
Standards are revised. A code on a sheet is the alignment this press used on the day you made it. Check it against your department's current document before you put it on a test.
No endorsement
Pass it Back (Math Problem Press) is not a product of any state education agency. Naming Florida B.E.S.T., the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, the Common Core State Standards, or any other document is not a claim that the agency reviewed or approved the sheet.
