These materials provide exposure and support to concepts while allowing for connections to real-world problem solving. With assessments being given often, it will provide feedback quickly to the student and teacher. It should not be used for a stand-alone program, but could be used as a strong and supportive independent supplement.

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. | ||
Materials allow progressions of standards at an adequate rate. Focus is on appropriate standards. Standards are major work and show proper connections in progression. |

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 | ||
Conceptual understanding is supported moderately. Although there are problems that allow for conceptual representations, it does not allow for multiple ways to represent but only one way of thinking. | ||||||
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 | ||
Procedural skills are supported in connection with conceptual understanding. Consistent exposure allows fluency in the skills. | ||||||
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 | ||
A wide range of tasks and real-life application problems allow the teachers and students to focus their time on these. Problem solving tasks are single and multi-stepped. |

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 | ||
Mathematical practices are a major focus in the questions. Printable materials are related to the online portion and can be helpful for both teacher and student in the practice standards. | ||||||
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 forms of assessment are available including beginning and end of course, benchmarks, and performance tasks. | ||||||
Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning. | Meets | Partially meets | N/A | Does not meet | ||
Indicative of some mathematical reasoning but does focus more of the process to solve and not as much as the reasoning behind it. |

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 | ||
Multilingual handbook available. Glossary available in Spanish. Read aloud option available. | ||||||
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 | ||
Many different approaches are available for students to be engaged and successful. Support is given even to families helping their student be successful. | ||||||
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 | ||
This program provides lessons that have multiple strategies and approaches to reach different types of learners. The dynamic and interactive program is very effective. | ||||||
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. | |||||
