4th Grade Report Overview

The Grade 4 Math in Focus materials lack coherence and consistency and do not devote a majority of time to the major work of the grade. Assessments often assess future grade level content including statistical distribution and similarity, congruence, and transformations. About 33 percent of the content are on the major work of the grade. An additional 40 percent of the time is spent on the supporting/additional clusters; however, these are treated separately therefore not counted as a part of the major work of the grade. Finally, 20 percent of the time is spent on off grade-level material. Grade 4 Math in Focus did not receive any points in Gateway 1. Overall, the materials do not provide a focus on the major work nor are the materials coherent. Materials were not reviewed for Gateway 2.
