Essential Concepts and Skills Prekindergarten through Grade Eight
I gather this is to be considered a sequential list.
The ... topical lists were derived through careful analysis of state curricular standards in this country and also included review of the American Diploma Project Benchmarks and K-8 Benchmarks (Achieve, 2004, 2006), the intended math curricula for Japan, Korea, Flemish-Belgium, Singapore, Chinese Tapei, the work of William Schmidt with TIMSS and beyond (2002) and the recent work of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (2006).

This can't be true! The eduwonks at must be fuming!
Where is the "real world" problem solving with a variety of strategies including pictorial modeling and calculators?
good question!
