| 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. 1- Student and teachers using the materials as designed devote the majority of time to the Major Work of the grade. 2- Supporting Work enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by also engaging students in the Major Work of the grade. 3- Materials follow the grade-by-grade progressions in the Standards. Content from previous or future grades does not unduly interfere. 4- Lessons that only include mathematics from previous grades are clearly identified. Materials that do not meet the non-negotiable requirements for Focus and Coherence will not be recommended as primary resources. Please continue with the review to determine if the materials may be recommended for supplemental use. | Meets all non-negotiable requirements | NA | NA | Does not meet the non-negotiable requirements. *see narrative for determination of which requirement(s) was not met | ||
| Major Work of the Grade is the consistent focus across lessons and assessments. Supporting and additional standards are integrated in ways that enhance major work rather than distract from it. Lesson design builds systematically on prior grade knowledge, clearly identifying prerequisite skills and revisiting them briefly when needed. he teacher guides include pacing and progression charts that support grade-level coherence and vertical alignment. | ||||||
