The instructional materials reviewed for Grade 6–8 do not meet the requirements for alignment to the Common Core State Standards. The materials do not consistently devote the majority of class time to the major work for Grade 6. The materials are not always coherent and consistent with the CCSSM. The materials have some assessment items that go beyond the grade level standards in all three grades. Since the instructional materials reviewed for Grade 6–8  do not meet the requirements for alignment to the CCSSM in the areas of focus and coherence, they were not reviewed for rigor and the mathematical practices.
