Annual portfolio review or testing — documentation is everything.
File an annual review request with your local school system (Md. Education Code § 7-301)
Required subjects include mathematics, language arts, social studies, science, art, music, health, and PE
Annual review via portfolio review by a certified teacher, standardized test, or local school review
Homeschool students must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress each year
Maryland's annual review rewards families who choose rigorous curricula.
Maryland requires annual demonstration of progress — the curriculum you choose determines whether you can show it
Fort Meade hosts the NSA — one of the world's largest employers of mathematicians and cryptographers
NIH and FDA in Bethesda anchor a massive biomedical and pharmaceutical research corridor
Chalky Math's skill tracking gives you a built-in portfolio for Maryland's annual review process
What Maryland requires — and exactly how Chalky Math covers it.
Maryland's annual review process rewards genuine academic substance. A structured curriculum with built-in documentation makes portfolio assembly straightforward.
Homeschool laws change. This is a general summary — consult your state department of education or HSLDA for current requirements.
Portfolio-ready math. Documented. Rigorous. Maryland-approved.
Maryland requires annual portfolio review. Chalky Math tracks every skill completion with a date and grade label — your portfolio documentation is built as you go, not assembled in a panic before review time.
Maryland requires 'satisfactory progress.' Chalky Math builds genuine mastery at each grade level before advancing. Your child's portfolio reflects what they actually know — not just what pages they covered.
NSA mathematicians, NIH biomedical researchers, and Lockheed Martin systems engineers all need strong mathematical foundations. Chalky Math builds that foundation from Grade 1 through AI Foundations.
Bethesda. Fort Meade. Baltimore. Maryland's STEM economy is world-class.
Maryland has one of the most STEM-intensive economies in the country. Fort Meade hosts the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command — together one of the world's largest employers of mathematicians. NIH's Bethesda campus is the largest biomedical research center in the world. Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab conducts advanced AI research for defense and space applications. The math Chalky Math teaches is foundational to all of these fields.
Kids learn to question and evaluate AI outputs — not just accept them as truth.
Probability, statistics, functions — real foundations, not surface-level buzzwords.
Cybersecurity, biomedical AI, defense systems — Maryland's workforce demands deep mathematical reasoning.
Bethesda. Fort Meade. Baltimore. Maryland's STEM economy is extraordinary.
Maryland's STEM concentration is remarkable for a mid-sized state. The NSA's Fort Meade campus is the world's largest employer of mathematicians and cryptographers. NIH in Bethesda is the largest biomedical research institution on earth, with thousands of PhD-level researchers. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Booz Allen Hamilton anchor a massive defense technology corridor across the DC suburbs.
Math literacy for Maryland kids is a practical investment in access to the most sought-after careers in the state. Chalky Math teaches the statistical reasoning behind biomedical research, the cryptographic foundations of cybersecurity, and the data analysis behind defense systems engineering — all built on the Grade 1–8 math sequence.
Pick up at any grade. Build from there.
Each grade is self-contained — start where your child is.
Maryland families. World-class expectations.
“Maryland's portfolio review used to take me two weeks to prepare. Since switching to Chalky Math, the skill logs are essentially the portfolio. It takes me a few hours.”
“My husband is a biostatistician at NIH. He reviewed Chalky Math's Grade 7 and 8 content and said the statistical foundations are exactly right for a pre-college student. We were sold.”
“We live near Fort Meade. The NSA hires mathematicians. I want my kids to have the mathematical reasoning those careers demand. Chalky Math is building that foundation.”
“Maryland requires satisfactory progress — which means you need a curriculum that builds real mastery, not just coverage. Chalky Math is the only program we've found that actually does that.”
What Maryland homeschool families ask us most.
Your homeschool. Your standards. A math curriculum built to match both.
