PM Math connects the standards parents see on reports and homework to short, grade-level practice sessions.
By Benchmark
Students can work on skills aligned to specific Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics benchmarks, not a random mix of worksheets.
Florida K–5
Practice is organized around the math expectations Florida students encounter from Kindergarten through Grade 5.
For Parents
PM Math helps parents understand what their child is practicing instead of presenting math as an unstructured pile of problems.
This page is a parent-friendly directory of Florida math benchmarks, and a starting point for practice that matches them.
Start with Kindergarten through Grade 5. Each grade has its own Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics benchmarks.
Open a strand such as Number Sense or Fractions to find the exact benchmark codes teachers and reports use.
Move from the standard to focused practice so your child works on the skills they are actually learning.
Each grade includes a complete Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics benchmark directory below, plus a practice guide with examples and PM Math details.
Kindergarten Florida math focuses on counting and writing numerals to 20, ordinal positions, comparing groups, making 10, measuring attributes such as length, volume, and weight, naming 2D and 3D shapes, and sorting data into categories. Kindergarten uses five strands and does not include a separate Fractions strand.
First graders build place value with tens and ones, add and subtract within 20, tell time to the hour and half-hour, work with coins, and begin Fractions by partitioning shapes into halves and fourths. Geometric Reasoning and simple data displays round out the grade.
Second grade extends numbers through 1,000, builds addition and subtraction fluency within 100 while exploring larger numbers, partitions shapes into equal shares, measures length and money, identifies lines of symmetry, and finds perimeter. Fractions continue as students name halves, thirds, and fourths.
Third grade deepens place value to 10,000, multiplies and divides with related facts through 12, solves multi-step word problems, compares and finds equivalent fractions, tells time to the minute, and works with area and perimeter of rectangles.
Fourth graders work with place value to 1,000,000, decimals to the hundredths, multi-digit multiplication and division, fraction–decimal connections, unit conversions, angle measurement with a protractor, and data summaries such as mode, median, and range.
Fifth grade extends decimals to the thousandths, evaluates expressions with order of operations, adds and subtracts fractions with unlike denominators, multiplies fractions and explores division involving unit fractions, converts units in multi-step problems, explores volume, and plots points in Quadrant I.
Across elementary grades, Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics uses major strands such as the ones below. Not every grade includes every strand in the same way, especially Fractions, which begins as a separate strand in Grade 1.
How students understand numbers, place value, and the core operations they use to solve problems.
Word problems, equations, unknown numbers, patterns, and early ways of thinking about relationships between quantities.
Equal shares, fraction language, and later fraction operations. A separate Fractions strand begins in Grade 1. Kindergarten does not have one.
Length, time, money, and other measurable attributes students learn to estimate, compare, and calculate.
Shapes, attributes, perimeter, area, angles, and spatial reasoning that grow more formal across the grades.
Collecting, representing, and interpreting information with tallies, graphs, tables, and summary measures.
Individual benchmark IDs identify specific grade-level mathematical expectations. Parents often see codes like MA.3.NSO.2.4 on report cards, homework, or progress notes.
A helpful way to read a code like that:
You do not need to memorize the full taxonomy. Recognizing the grade and strand in a code is usually enough to find the right practice focus.

Progress monitoring
Florida's statewide mathematics progress monitoring is connected to the same grade-level expectations described in the B.E.S.T. Mathematics Standards. The standards define what students learn; progress monitoring helps schools check growth during the year.
Kindergarten–Grade 2: Students participate in Florida FAST Mathematics progress monitoring. For these grades, mathematics progress monitoring uses Renaissance Star Mathematics during PM1, PM2, and PM3. That experience differs from the FAST Mathematics assessments used in Grades 3–8.
Grades 3–5: Students participate in FAST Mathematics progress monitoring tied to grade-level Florida mathematics expectations. For grade-by-grade practice details, open the Grade 3, Grade 4, and Grade 5 guides linked above.
PM Math is an independent practice resource aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics standards. It is not operated by, endorsed by, or affiliated with the Florida Department of Education or Renaissance Learning, and it is not an official FAST product.
PM Math gives Florida students focused K–5 math practice aligned with the skills they are learning, organized by Florida B.E.S.T. benchmarks.
