Best for

Schools seeking an integrated mathematics approach, though alignment concerns suggest careful review is needed

Evaluation Criteria

2 concerns · 2 neutral · 5 insufficient evidence

Sequencing ApproachConcern

The integrated approach combines algebra, geometry, and statistics across courses rather than teaching them separately.

The curriculum follows an integrated mathematics model typical of Common Core approaches, though EdReports noted concerns with focus and coherence

Conceptual Procedural BalanceConcern

The curriculum attempts to balance conceptual understanding with procedural fluency through its five-step lesson design, though effectiveness is questionable given alignment concerns.

Program description emphasizes developing both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding, but EdReports found the curriculum does not meet expectations for alignment to grade-level standards

Teacher TrainingNeutral
