Derivita, aligned to California’s Mathematics Standards.
Standard-by-standard alignment to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, from Grade 6 through Calculus, reviewed by subject-matter experts.
Aligned to both high school pathways: traditional (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) and integrated (Mathematics I, II, and III).
Open-response practice that helps build the reasoning the CAASPP Smarter Balanced math assessment asks of grades 6 through 8 and 11.
California alignment, course by course.
Derivita aligns its expert-authored questions to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, breaking each standard into the teachable skills behind it. Every skill is backed by auto-graded Derivita content that runs inside your district's LMS.

State assessment
California students take the CAASPP Smarter Balanced mathematics assessment in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11.
Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying answers rather than choosing from a list, the kind of reasoning the assessment asks for.
How the alignment works
Standard to skill to question. Each standard breaks down into the skills it asks of students, and each skill links to Derivita questions that practice and assess it.
Reviewed by subject-matter experts, and used alongside the curriculum your district has already chosen.

Questions California districts ask us.
Is Derivita aligned to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics?
Yes. Derivita provides standard-by-standard alignment to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, from Grade 6 through Calculus, reviewed by subject-matter experts. Each standard is broken into the teachable skills behind it, and each skill is backed by auto-graded Derivita questions.
Does Derivita support both of California's high school math pathways?
Yes. Derivita is aligned to the traditional pathway (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II) and the integrated pathway (Mathematics I, II, and III), so districts can use the same system whichever pathway their schools follow.
How does Derivita support students preparing for CAASPP?
Derivita's open-response questions are graded for mathematical equivalence, so students practice constructing and justifying their own answers rather than choosing from a list. That daily practice helps build the reasoning the CAASPP Smarter Balanced math assessment asks of students in grades 6 through 8 and 11.
Does Derivita work with the curriculum and LMS our California district already uses?
Yes. Derivita enhances the curriculum a district has already chosen, with questions aligned to curricula such as Illustrative Mathematics, Open Up Resources, and Big Ideas Math. It runs natively inside Canvas, Schoology, Google Classroom, D2L, Moodle, and Blackboard, so students and teachers don't need a separate login.

Help any California teacher give every student a high-quality secondary math education.
Derivita is the district-wide math improvement system for grades 6 through Calculus III, aligned to the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and built to run inside your LMS. It enhances the curriculum your district chose, connects instruction from the student to the classroom, PLC, and district, and helps California leaders see what's working and consolidate tools.
