Recommendation

Reviewed, Not Recommended

Evaluation

While the curriculum is tied to state standards, the sequencing is not logical or a good fit for students. State standards are inconsistently covered, with extensive time on operations and algebraic thinking and little time on other standards. As a result, students would likely not have a thorough understanding of all standards. Instruction moves too quickly from concrete into representative thinking to support student understanding. Does not build on student foundational skills and background knowledge in a way that will encourage student success and learning. Instructional routines and content are explicit. The curriculum provides regular, rigorous assessment. We would evaluate this program as “Reviewed, Not Recommended.”

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.
While the curriculum is tied to core standards, the pacing is not equitable across domains. Too much time is spent on operations and algebraic thinking, leaving little time for other standards. Curriculum does not always clearly tie to previous grades' learning.
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
Instruction moves too quickly from concrete into representative thinking to support student understanding.
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
Fluency practices are absent.
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
Multiple opportunities for practice are provided.
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
Few opportunities are provided for meaningful mathematic reasoning.
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
Multiple, rigorous assessments are offered throughout the curriculum. Assessments are closely tied to what is taught and to state standards.
Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
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
Supports are available in Spanish, but not in other languages. Limited support for multilingual learners. No clear evidence of support for students in special education.
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
Scaffolding for gradual release is present but not consistent throughout the curriculum. Some lessons move to independent practice too quickly, others too slowly. Little support is provided for intervention or differentiation.
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
Multiple representations and opportunities for practice are provided. Support for student difficulties is not present. There is no evidence of opportunities for students to deconstruct/reconstruct language of problems.
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
Multiple opportunities provided for student assessment. Assessments are rigorous and tied to standards/instruction. Assessments are a developmentally-appropriate length.
Assessments measure what students understand and can do through well designed mathematical tasks and applications. Meets Partially meets N/A Does not meet
Assessments do not consistently require a high depth of knowledge. Prompts are typically algorithm-based instead of task-based.
