An open, structured taxonomy of what children learn across the primary/elementary years — decomposed into fine-grained "micro-topics", wired into a prerequisite graph, and aligned to national curriculum standards. Produced by Marble.

Version: v1 · Topics: 1,590 · Prerequisite edges: 3,221 · Subjects: 8

Every dot is a micro-topic, colored by subject; height is age; each thread is a prerequisite (full-quality video). Explore it interactively at withmarble.com/curriculum — tap any concept to trace everything a learner must master before it.

Most curriculum data is either a flat list of standards or locked inside a product. This dataset is a connected graph of learning:

• 1,590 micro-topics — a single, teachable idea (e.g. "Building sentences", "Apparent brightness of stars"), each with a plain-language description, mastery evidence criteria, a type (conceptual / procedural / representational / language / meta), a subject + domain, and an approximate age range.
• 3,221 prerequisite dependencies — a directed acyclic graph: "topic X depends on prerequisite Y", each edge tagged hard/soft and carrying a one-line reason.
• Curriculum alignment — each micro-topic links to the standards it was distilled from (NGSS, Common Core, the UK National Curriculum, and more).
• Domain clusters — 183 parent-friendly one-paragraph summaries per (subject, domain, age band).

All data lives in data/ as UTF-8 JSON. See schema/ for JSON Schemas and manifest.json for counts + SHA-256 checksums.
