Built to the standards your district already uses.
Brainpathio aligns to Common Core Math Standards (Grades 6–12), NGSS Middle and High School bands, and NWEA MAP RIT scale. Brainpathio is not a standards curriculum — it identifies the misconceptions blocking mastery of the standards you're already teaching. Full alignment documentation available to pilot applicants.

Common Core Mathematics Standards alignment
Brainpathio's misconception taxonomy is mapped to CCSS-M domains for Grades 6-12. Each misconception category lists the specific standards it blocks when left unaddressed.
| CCSS-M Domain | Grade Band | Misconception Categories Covered | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratios and Proportional Relationships | Grades 6-7 | Additive vs. multiplicative reasoning, unit rate confusion, ratio as subtraction | Full |
| The Number System (Fractions) | Grades 6-8 | Whole-number interference, part-whole confusion, unlike-denominator addition, fraction as two numbers | Full |
| Expressions and Equations | Grades 6-8 | Variable as label, inverse operation confusion, equality as operator, sign handling | Full |
| Functions | Grades 8-9 | Slope-intercept conflation, rate of change vs. value confusion | Partial |
| Algebra — Seeing Structure in Expressions | Grades 9-12 | Distributive property misapplication, like-terms misconception, factoring confusion | Full |
| Statistics and Probability | Grades 6-12 | Mean vs. median confusion, correlation as causation | Partial |
| Geometry | Grades 6-12 | Area formula misapplication, perimeter-area conflation | Planned Q4 |
Next Generation Science Standards
NGSS disciplinary core idea alignment
Physical Science misconception categories are mapped to NGSS DCIs for Middle and High School bands.
| NGSS DCI | Grade Band | Misconception Categories | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| MS-PS2: Motion and Stability — Forces and Interactions | Grades 6-8 | Force-equals-motion, objects-need-force-to-keep-moving, gravity as attraction-only | Full |
| MS-PS3: Energy | Grades 6-8 | Heat as substance, energy as a thing stored in objects, temperature-heat conflation | Full |
| HS-PS2: Motion and Stability | Grades 9-12 | Velocity-speed conflation, centripetal force direction, normal force misconception | Partial |
| MS-LS1: From Molecules to Organisms | Grades 6-8 | Photosynthesis inputs misconception | Planned 2026 |
| HS-PS3: Energy | Grades 9-12 | Conservation of energy misconceptions | Planned 2026 |
NWEA MAP RIT alignment
Brainpathio problem difficulty calibrated to MAP RIT bands
For districts using NWEA MAP Growth as a benchmark, Brainpathio's problem difficulty levels are calibrated to approximate RIT score bands. This allows curriculum coordinators to cross-reference misconception data with MAP growth reports.
- Problem difficulty approximate to RIT bands 180-240
- Misconception categories linked to RIT growth stall patterns
- Not a MAP replacement — a diagnostic complement
