Evaluation
This program supplies teachers with many resources, videos, and assessments to help their students learn the material. In order for teachers to successfully use this program, teachers need to spend time filtering through the many options available. Teachers can personalize the course for their students, which would be very beneficial. Students can also search for more videos and practice problems to help them personalize their 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 | ||
| The videos are helpful in developing the students' understanding of mathematical concepts. However, the assessments are mainly multiple choice and there is little dynamic interactions. | ||||||
| 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 | ||
| There are many opportunities for students to attain the standard skill set. Students can assess themselves to see if the have mastery of the subject. | ||||||
| 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 lack of diverse assessments and practice problems make this program a bit mundane. But the quantity of opportunities to practice is a strength of the program. | ||||||
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 | ||
| This program is very organized and focused. The mastery of the standards is the main focus of this program. | ||||||
| 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 | ||
| The assessments are straight forward and provide many opportunities for students' to know if they are proficient. The tasks also help with this. | ||||||
| Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning. | Meets | Partially meets | N/A | Does not meet | ||
| There are many videos that are easy to understand, which stay focused on mathematical reasoning. Students will be able to find answers to their questions through the videos. | ||||||
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 | ||
| Accessible resources are available for students that need extra help. Videos have closed caption. Assessments can be adjusted for more time allowed. | ||||||
| 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 | ||
| More differentiation and/or interactive programs would be beneficial to students. The videos are very effective. | ||||||
| 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 videos are the main option to learn concepts. The videos use multiple representations. | ||||||
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 | ||
| Practice problems, assessments, quizzes, and reviews are all provided in this program. Students have many opportunities to assess their understanding. | ||||||
| Assessments measure what students understand and can do through well designed mathematical tasks and applications. | Meets | Partially meets | N/A | Does not meet | ||
| The assessments provided include simple to complex problems. The questions are well designed. | ||||||
