Is Brilliant content aligned with any state or federal learning standards?

While we have relevant content across most levels and topics in math, science, and computer science, Brilliant courses don’t align perfectly with any standardized curriculum or learning standards. We are focused on leading students to do, understand, and be captivated and inspired by STEM, rather than teaching to a particular test. That said, we’ve done our best to create Math-specific content guides that cover general Common Core alignment and key topics. Check them out below!
