# Math learning components

> Reference for Math learning components in Knowledge Graph: granular mathematics skills and concepts aligned to standards, with support for progressions and content tagging.

[Dataset last updated June 18, 2026.](#dataset-release-history)

## Overview

<Note>
  The Math learning components dataset uses Learning Components
  [entities](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-components#entities) and
  [relationships](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/learning-components#relationships).
</Note>

The Math learning components dataset represents granular mathematics skills or individual concepts that operate at the instructional level – i.e., a lesson, an activity, or even a single question.

It essentially breaks broad [Standards](/knowledge-graph/schema-reference/standards) down into measurable, teachable parts.

<Note>
  Some standards do not have Learning Component alignments.

  Categories like Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs), Pre-K, advanced math such as calculus, financial literacy in Texas, and certain state-specific groupings are intentionally excluded from Learning Component generation.
