K-8 Unpacking Documents Released
NC DPI Website
The Standard Course of Study, Unpacking Documents, Crosswalk Comparison Documents, K-8 Major Revisions At-A-Glance, and links to the Instructional Frameworks have been uploaded onto the NC DPI website on the Mathematics Standards Course of Study page.
All official NC DPI documents for the Mathematics Standards Course of Study will be found on the NC DPI Mathematics page.
Math Wiki
While the wiki page is not scheduled to be disabled until the end of the 2018 calendar year, access to the site may change before that point without notice. The NC DPI Mathematics webpage is your reliable source for updated implementation resources and links to resources.
The word versions of the unpacking documents are currently available on the math wiki.
Notice will be sent as more resources from DPI and our collaborative partners become available.
NC Check-Ins
NC Check-Ins are interim assessments aligned to North Carolina grade-level content standards in
mathematics for grades 3–8 developed by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
(NCDPI). There are three NC Check-Ins at each grade level administered after approximately
nine weeks of instruction (NC Check-In 1, October; NC Check-In 2, January; NC Check-In 3,
March). For mathematics, each NC Check-In focuses on a selected sub-set of grade-level content
standards.
The main purpose of NC Check-Ins is to provide students, teachers, parents, and stakeholders
with immediate in-depth action-data and a reliable estimate of students’ current performance on
the selected sub-set of content standards. A secondary purpose is derived from NC Check-Ins
strong relationship with grade-level end-of-grade (EOG) summative assessments. Both EOGs
and NC Check-Ins share a common item bank, and performance on the NC Check-Ins serves as
an early indicator of a student’s level of preparedness for the EOG summative assessment.
Existing NC Check-Ins, grades 5 and 6, and the new NC Check-Ins, grade 3, 4, 7 and 8, will be aligned to the new mathematics standards for the 2018-19 school year.

Middle School and High School Computer Science Professional Development
There’s still time for middle and high school teachers to apply for Code.org’s 2018 Professional Learning Program. We have some spots available here in North Carolina, but the final deadlines for submitting applications are quickly approaching:
- For teachers interested in our Computer Science Principles Program (grades 9-12), the final deadline is Monday, July 2nd.
- For teachers interested in our Computer Science Discoveries Program (grades 6-10), the final deadline is Monday, July 9th.
Applications are reviewed as teachers apply, so we may fill our workshops before the deadline. The sooner you apply, the higher your chances are of being accepted into the program. The College Board has partnered with the Friday Institute to make our CS Principles Professional Learning Program available at no charge to educators in North Carolina. You or your school may still need to cover travel to the workshops depending on your location.
