I'd really like to have an overview of how math is being studied in US. I would love to see how it compares to primary / secondary education in Europe (ex Yugoslav countries).

    Having spent my childhood in Texas public education, [this site](http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/taks/released-tests/archive/) comes to mind immediately. If you browse around, you can see tests for 3rd year through 11th (12th) year students (i.e. kids aged 8 - 18)2012-03-07

In the U.S., precollege education is not nearly as centeralized as it is in many other countries, so something like the following google search is probably more helpful than trying to look for some type of U.S. national standard:

Someone from University of Puget Sound wrote a paper check http://www2.ups.edu/faculty/woodward/Mathematics%20Education%20in%20the%20United%20States.pdf Also check this paper http://www.nctm.org/uploadedFiles/About_NCTM/Corresponding_Societies/MathEdUS2008-Dossey.pdf

And one final link http://www.csun.edu/~vcmth00m/AHistory.html

These are all copyright materials. You should contact Prof. David Klein from California State University if you are working on such topic.

Unless someone else gives a better answer, I'll select this one: Among answers to this question What should the high school math curriculum consist of?, I found a great link with correct answer to my questions: http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards

This basically does it. Sweet.
