ND State Content Standards & Benchmarks (link)
Content standards are public statements about what all students should know and be able to do in a curriculum area. These standards are not universal but are published by school districts, state education departments, and national entities. Often times, standards are associated with benchmarks. Benchmarks are statements of knowledge and skill that define a standard at a given developmental level (e.g., 4th grade, 8th grade, 12th grade).
