About This Report
- EdReports reviews are one tool to support curriculum decisions. We do not make recommendations, and our reports are not prescriptive.
- Use this report as part of a comprehensive, teacher-led adoption process that prioritizes local needs and integrates multi-year implementation planning throughout.
- EdReports evaluates materials based on the quality of their design: how well they structure evidence-based teaching and learning to support college and career-readiness. We do not assess their effectiveness in practice.
- Check the top of the page to confirm the review tool version used. Our current tools are version 2.0. Reports based on earlier tools (versions 1.0 or 1.5) offer valuable insights but may not fully align with current instructional priorities.
Report Overview
Summary of Alignment & Usability: Fishtank Math | Math
Math 3-5
The instructional materials reviewed for Match Fishtank Grades 3-5 meet the expectations for alignment. The assessments at all grade levels are focused on grade-level standards, the materials devote at least 65% of class time to major clusters of the grade, and all grades are coherent and consistent with the standards. Grades 3-5 meet expectations for Gateway 2, rigor and mathematical practices. The lessons include conceptual understanding, fluency and procedures, and application, and there is a balance of these aspects for rigor. The Standards for Mathematical Practice (MPs) are identified, used to enrich the learning, and meet the full intent of all eight MPs. Grades 3-5 partially meet the criteria for usability. The materials meet expectations for Use and Design to Facilitate Student Learning, and partially meet exceptions for Planning and Support for Teachers, Assessment, and Differentiation.
