Evaluation

Reveal Math is a comprehensive program for the classroom with many benefits and resources for students and teachers. The program looks comprehensive; however, some programs may have a few more additional resources and benefits in their programs. But don't count this one out though, it has what it takes for a primary math support program.

Some of the benefits to the program are:

  • Student and teacher resource books.
  • Thorough guides and practice problems both print and digital.
  • Spanish speaking student resources.
  • Cross curriculum activities.
  • Differentiation and STEM resources.
  • Fun interactive videos for students.
  • Explanation videos for teachers.
  • Assessments digital and print.
  • Aligned to Utah Mathematics Core.
  • Intervention resources.
  • Pre-assessments before units.
  • Assessments allow you to take out numbers and add points.
  • Helpful technology features to assign assignments to computer devices.
  • Make and map out curriculum for the month in calendars.
  • Objectives are stated and examples are provided of what is to be learned.

Areas of improvement:

  • Curriculum is very methodical - step by step methods
  • Provides professions in the 21st century and how curriculum could be applied to real situations but needs more.
  • More real-life tasks and hands on projects are needed
  • Assignments are based off worksheets

It is likely that most teachers would find the pacing of the books helpful and supportive to their yearly lesson planning. The chapters were organized and detailed for student and teacher use. Overall, the program has what it takes to be a good primary math program. Experienced teachers may find this to be a great tool to aid their instruction and new teachers may find this resource substantial enough to guide them through the challenging first years of teaching.

Compliance with State Law (Required)
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
Sensitive Materials and Prohibited Submission 53G-10-103, R277-628 This item has not been graded.
Prohibited discriminatory practices 53G-2-103-5, 53B-1-118 and 67-27-107 This item has not been graded.
Maintaining constitutional freedom in the public schools. 53G-10-202 This item has not been graded.
Free from advertising, e-commerce, or political interest This item has not been graded.
Focus and Coherence: Non-Negotiable
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
Non-negotiable materials must focus coherently on the Major Work of the grade in a way that is consistent with the progressions in the standards. Student and teachers using the materials as designed devote the majority of time to the Major Work of the grade. Supporting Work enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by also engaging students in the Major Work of the grade. Materials follow the grade-by-grade progressions in the Standards. Content from previous or future grades does not unduly interfere. Lessons that only include mathematics from previous grades are clearly identified.
There is a clear grade-to-grade pathway for teachers and students to progress in teaching and learning the standards.
Rigor and Balance
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
The materials support the development of students’ conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts, especially where called for in specific standards or cluster headings. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
The program scaffolds students understanding of key core concepts. Teachers are given supports to learn and teach the concepts.
The materials are designed so that students attain the fluencies and procedural skills required by the Standards. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
While the program provides materials for students to attain the skillsets, the problem many teachers may face is a lack of time to cover all the content as in-depth as they may prefer.
The materials are designed so that teachers and students spend sufficient time working with applications, without losing focus on the Major Work of each grade. (Are there single and multi-step contextual problems that develop the mathematics of the grade, afford opportunities for practice, and engage students in problem solving?) Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
The materials sampled seem to have a clear focus on the Major Work of each grade level.
Standards for Mathematical Practice
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
Materials address the practice standards in such a way as to enrich the Major Work of the grade; practice standards strengthen the focus on Major Work instead of detracting from it, in both teacher and student materials. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
Teachers may want to use this as their main math program and add additional content outside the program to support individual and class needs.
Tasks and assessments of student learning are designed to provide evidence of students’ proficiency in the Standards of Mathematical Practice. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
Teachers may wish to use the assessments provided or create their own from the material to meet grading standards (such as proficiency based grading requirements).
Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
Mathematical reasoning will likely develop with this program at its best with the guidance of the teacher through the lessons.
Access to the Standards for All Students
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
Support for English Language learners and other special populations is thoughtful (evidence-based) and helps those students meet the same Standards (and rigor) as all other students. The language in which problems are posed is carefully considered. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
It looks like the program has been translated into Spanish, but it seems that was the only translation found available in the program.
Materials provide scaffolding, differentiation, intervention, and support for a broad range of learners with gradual removal of supports, when needed, to allow students to demonstrated their mathematical understanding independently. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
A differentiation guide and materials for intervention are part of the program.
Design of lessons incorporates strategies such as using multiple representations, deconstructing/reconstructing the language of problems, providing suggestions for addressing common student difficulties, etc. to ensure grade-level progress for all learners. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
The teacher manual had an in-depth guide to address student needs. Such as one page that had notes on "reinforcing understanding, building proficiency, and extending thinking."
Ethnic Studies- (Ethnic studies in core standards and curriculum should be a narrowly tailored incorporation of age-appropriate opportunities that naturally arise through education without pretextual effort in courses, programs, or activities where ethnic studies is not a primary focus. The material should incorporate a curriculum of people and cultures that reflect the state’s various demographics without commentary that seeks to violate the neutrality standard established in codes: 53B-1-118, 53G-2-103, 53G-2-104, 53G-2-105, 67-27-107, This item has not been graded.
Shared Values and Character Traits This item has not been graded.
Assessment
Item 3 - Extensive 2 - Adequate 1 - Inadequate 0 - None
Multiple measurements of individual student progress occur at regular intervals ensuring success of all students. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
There are multiple measurements of student progress such as student worksheets, digital assessments, and exit tickets.
Assessments measure what students understand and can do through well designed mathematical tasks and applications. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
Assessment questions seemed to be varied, challenging, and connected to the content of the lesson. Teachers may want to use different assessment questions or differentiate it to their needs.
