Evaluation
Essential materials in this source align closely with grade-level content and follow the standards' learning progression, ensuring students' comprehension of essential math concepts as required by specific standards or cluster headings. They are structured to facilitate the acquisition of necessary skills and fluency outlined in the Standards of Mathematical Practice, emphasizing practical applications while maintaining a focus on core content. These materials effectively incorporate practice standards, ensuring they complement and reinforce the Major Work in both teacher and student resources. Tasks and assessments are thoughtfully designed to showcase students' competency in the Standards of Mathematical Practice, enhancing their mathematical reasoning skills. The source offers strong support, differentiation, and intervention for a wide range of learners, gradually allowing students to demonstrate their mathematical understanding independently. Lesson design employs various strategies to help students overcome common challenges and make consistent grade-level progress, with regular assessments measuring individual student progress and focusing on success, particularly in preparation for the AP Exam, with some limitations in ELL support.

| 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 | ||
| The materials are structured to ensure students acquire the necessary skills and fluency as outlined in the Standards. | ||||||
| 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 are created to ensure that both teachers and students dedicate adequate time to practical applications while still emphasizing the core content for each grade. | ||||||
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 | ||
| The materials incorporate the practice standards to enhance the core grade-level content, ensuring that the practice standards complement and reinforce the Major Work rather than diverting from it, in both teacher and student resources. | ||||||
| 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 materials incorporate the practice standards to enhance the core grade-level content, ensuring that the practice standards complement and reinforce the Major Work rather than diverting from it, in both teacher and student resources. | ||||||
| Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning. | Meets | Partially meets | N/A | Does not meet | ||
| The materials bolster the Standards' focus on developing mathematical reasoning skills. | ||||||
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 | ||
| Source shows no evidence of support for ELL | ||||||
| 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 | ||
| The materials offer support, differentiation, intervention, and assistance for a diverse range of learners, with the gradual removal of support as necessary, enabling students to demonstrate their mathematical understanding independently. | ||||||
| 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 | ||
| Lesson design includes various strategies like using multiple ways to represent information, breaking down and rebuilding problem language, and offering guidance to tackle common student challenges. These strategies are employed to ensure that all students make grade-level progress. | ||||||
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 | ||
| Regular assessments are conducted to measure the progress of each individual student, ensuring the success of all students. | ||||||
| Assessments measure what students understand and can do through well designed mathematical tasks and applications. | Meets | Partially meets | N/A | Does not meet | ||
