About this alignment
Benchmark codes follow the pattern MA.6.STRAND.standard.benchmark. A game practises a skill; it does not replace classroom instruction on the full benchmark.
Full benchmark wording lives with the state. Read it on CPALMS or the Florida Department of Education B.E.S.T. page. Descriptions here are short paraphrases, not official text.
