Piqosity is now aligning all course subtopics to popular state standards like:

  • Common Core State Standards
  • Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)


Educators can see this alignment in several different locations on the app to assist with lesson and unit planning.


State Standards Page


Educators can browse all of Piqosity's Standards and Subtopics from the State Standards page, which is now accessible under "Content" in the navigation bar:


This State Standards page consists of 3 tabs: Curricula, Standards, and Map.


All Curricula

The Curricula tab shows all curricula whose standards have been mapped to Piqosity's subtopics. Each curriculum is shown along with its abbreviation (used in the name of each Standard), description, and the number of Standards in the Piqosity database.


Clicking the name of a curriculum loads that curriculum in the Standards tab.


All Standards


The Standards tab allows educators to generate a list of all of the Standards in the database that match certain criteria.

  1. The Curriculum dropdown (required) determines which curriculum's standards appear in the table.
  2. The Category dropdown filters the table by academic domain. Piqosity currently lists standards for Math and English.
  3. The Course dropdown filters the table by Course. Selecting "ACT," for instance, shows all of the Standards with the selected Curriculum and Category that appear in the ACT course.
  4. Click "Generate Table" after populating the preceding dropdowns to generate the list of Standards that match your criteria. The table below is populated with:
    • Standard
    • Description
    • Piqosity: The Piqosity Subtopic(s) from across all Piqosity courses that are aligned with the Standard
  5. The Search box can be used to find a particular Standard within the currently generated table.
  6. Click the name of a Subtopic to visit the details page for that Subtopic.


Curriculum Map


The Map tab allows educators to compare Standards across curricula for each Subtopic.

  1. The Curriculum dropdown (required) determines which curricula appear in the Map. Because this is a comparison tool, at least 2 selections are required.
  2. The Course dropdown filters the Map by academic domain. Piqosity currently lists standards for Math and English.
  3. The Course dropdown filters the table by Course. Selecting "ACT," for instance, shows all of the Subtopics in the ACT course along with their associated Standards.
  4. Click "Generate Table" after populating the preceding dropdowns to generate the Map table with the Subtopics and Standards that match your criteria. The table below is populated with:
    • Piqosity: The Piqosity Subtopic(s) that match your selections
    • A column for each curricula selected, where the Standard(s) for each Subtopic are listed
  5. The Search box can be used to find a particular Standard within the currently generated table.
  6. Click the name of a Subtopic to visit the details page for that Subtopic.
  7. Hover over a Standard to view a tooltip with its description.


Subtopic Details Page


On the page for a Piqosity Subtopic, the associated Standards are listed at the top of the page, under the Subtopic name. Hover over a Standard to view a tooltip with its description.

Subtopic Analysis


The Standards associated with each Subtopic also appear on the Subtopic Analysis page of the educator Dashboard for any Course or Class. 

  1. Access Subtopic Analysis by navigating to the Outline tab and then selecting "Subtopic Analysis" from the dropdown.
  2. Click on "Topic" to filter the table by Topic (the example shows the table filtered to show Mathematics Subtopics only).
  3. Hover over a Standard to view a tooltip with its description.


By default, Subtopic Analysis displays Standards from the Common Core State Standards curriculum. To view Standards for All Curricula or a different curriculum, navigate to the Settings tab for the Course or Class of interest.
