The curriculum likely has weaknesses in systematic word problem instruction. The poor performance on application components suggests inadequate development of problem-solving schemas and real-world connections.

Gateway 2 'Does Not Meet Expectations' rating specifically addresses application, which includes word problem solving and mathematical practices

The curriculum shows significant weakness in balancing conceptual understanding with procedural fluency. EdReports found that the program does not meet expectations for rigor and mathematical practices, indicating inadequate integration of these essential components.

Gateway 2 rating of 'Does Not Meet Expectations' for rigor and mathematical practices, which directly evaluates the balance of conceptual understanding, procedural skill, and application

The curriculum includes digital planning tools through ConnectED platform, suggesting some level of teacher support. However, the depth and quality of professional development materials cannot be determined from available evidence.
