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.
This complete text includes all required topics in detailed, engaging, and student-friendly explanations. Both teachers and students will enjoy the clear descriptions and relevant examples.

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
This text is designed with extensive support to build conceptual understanding including learning targets, definitions, step-by-step instructions, summaries, and appropriate real-world examples.
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
Students who read the text, study the abundantly provided examples, and complete the exercises will attain the fluency and skills required by 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 text includes ample student exercises with additional examples in the teacher edition and additional resources for teachers to use in their instruction. The text and the support materials will help both students and teachers thoroughly understand and practice correct statistical concepts. Multiple technology supports with complete explanations, including statistical applets are included.

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 focus of the text facilitates teaching with the Standards for Mathematical Practice. The text particularly emphasizes promoting reasoning from problem solving, facilitating meaningful statistical discussions, and building strong conceptual understanding.
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
Tasks and assessments require students to explain their thinking using correct statistical processes and practices.
Materials support the Standards’ emphasis on mathematical reasoning.	Meets	Partially meets	N/A	Does not meet
The text and support materials emphasize inclusive and supported inferential and statistical reasoning.

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
This text does not include specific supports for English language learners but it does include an extensive and referenced glossary of statistical concepts in both English and Spanish.
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 support materials for this text provide extensive additional materials and further supports including a multitude of videos, worked out examples, and Power Points that teachers can use to help differentiate their instruction and provide additional interventions for their students.
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
Resource materials include helps for teachers that address multiple representations and many suggestions to address common students difficulties.
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.

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
Appropriate and comprehensive quizzes and tests are provided at regular intervals to ensure student success. Ample review exercises and practice tests are also available to help students prepare for assessments.
Assessments measure what students understand and can do through well designed mathematical tasks and applications.	Meets	Partially meets	N/A	Does not meet
Assessments measure student understanding in appropriate, interesting, and well-designed statistical scenarios and applications.
