Overview of Gateway 1

Focus & Coherence

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations for focus and coherence. For focus, the materials do assess grade-level content, but they do not provide all students with extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of grade-level standards. The materials do not meet expectations for coherence and consistency with the CCSSM, as they do not have supporting content connected to major work or content from prior and future grades connected to grade-level work. The materials partially meet expectations for making connections between clusters and domains, and the materials do address the major clusters of the grade.

Criterion 1.1: Focus

02/06

Materials assess grade-level content and give all students extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of grade-level standards.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations for focus as they do assess grade-level content and do not provide all students extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of grade-level standards.

Indicator 1A
02/02

Materials assess the grade-level content and, if applicable, content from earlier grades.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, meet expectations for assessing grade-level content and, if applicable, content from earlier grades. The curriculum has a Grade 1 Tests and Cumulative Reviews section which, includes an End-of-Chapter test for each chapter, a Cumulative Review for every chapter after Chapter 1 and one End-of-the-Year test. There are assessment items that are aligned to above grade level skills, but these materials can be removed or modified without impacting the structure of the materials. In addition, there is one chapter, Chapter 8, that is aligned to above grade level standards that could be omitted without impacting the other materials. 

Note: The user guide identifies the tests as optional; however, the publisher orientation session identified these assessments as a required component for school use. Therefore, the tests are included in this review.

Examples of assessment items that assess grade-level content include:

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, Chapter 1 Test, Question 4, “Find the missing numbers. a.  2 + ___ = 7  b. 1 + ___ = 4 c. 4 + ___ = 10 d. ___ + 7 = 9” (1.OA.8)

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, Chapter 2 Test, Question 3, “a. There are 9 animals playing in the yard.  Three are dogs and the rest are cats.  How many cats are there? b. Lisa has four more balls than Kelly.  Kelly has five balls.  Draw Kelly’s and Lisa’s balls. c. Five robins and two sparrows are feeding on seeds.  Two more robins fly in. Now how many more robins are there than sparrows?” (1.OA.1)

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, End of Year Test, Question 6, “Put the numbers in order.  a. 16, 61, 26; _____ <  ____ < _____   b. 54, 14, 51; _____ < ____ < ______”  (1.NBT.3)

Examples of mathematically reasonable assessment items that align to above-grade-level standards that could be removed or modified without impacting the structure or intent of the materials include, but are not limited to:

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, Chapter 4 Test, Question 2, “b. Dan had two boxes of nails. Then he bought four more boxes of nails. The next day he gave three boxes to the neighbor. How many boxes of nails does Dan have now?” (2.OA.1)

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, Chapter 6 Test, Question 4, “Draw a line that is: a. 4 inches b. 12 centimeters” (2.MD.1)

  • Tests and Cumulative Reviews, Chapter 8 Test, Question 3, “You buy an item. How much money will you have left? a. You have: You buy a comb for 64¢. How much is left?” Students are provided an image with various types of coins. (2.MD.8)

Indicator 1B
00/04

Materials give all students extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of grade-level standards.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations for giving all students extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of grade-level standards. The materials provide limited opportunities for all students to engage in extensive work and/or do not provide opportunities for students to meet the full intent with grade-level-problems for standards including, but not limited to: 1.OA.6, 1.OA.7, 1.NBT.2, 1.MD.1, 1.MD.3, 1.MD.4 and 1.G.3. Some off-grade-level work negatively impacts students’ work with grade-level content.

The materials are divided into two Worktexts, 1-A and 1-B. Each Worktext is divided into chapters. Each chapter is divided into lessons that contain content instruction, mental math problems, puzzle corners, and practice problems, in addition to chapter reviews and a chapter test.

Examples of extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of some grade-level standards include:

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 2: Subtraction Within 0-10, Two Parts - One Total, Question 1, “Solve the word problems. Write an addition sentence AND a subtraction sentence. a. Mother put some blue and some red flowers in a case. Jen counted five red ones and a total of ten. How many of the flowers are blue?   ____ + ____ = _____ , ____ - ____ = _____ .” Question 2, “For each picture, make a word problem that is solved by subtraction.”  Students are given a picture of 4 dolls and 3 cars for part b. Question 5, “Draw a picture to solve these problems. b. Seven birds sat in a tree. One of them was black, two were blue, and the rest were brown. How many were brown?” Students engage in extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of 1.OA.1(Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions)   

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 3: Place Value Within 0-100, Which Number is Greater?, Question 2, “Write < or > between the numbers. You can draw ten-sticks and one-dots to help. b. 34 ___ 24”. Question 3, “Write < or > between the numbers to compare them. Number line can help. c. 99 ___ 96”. Question 4, “Write < , > or =.  g. 40+5 ___  40+4”. Students engage in extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of 1.NBT.3 (Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and < .) 

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 6: Shapes and Measuring, Basic Shapes, Question 2, students are shown a picture of a circle for part h, “Write down how many corners each shape has.”  Question 3, Using the pictures of the various shapes above, “a. In the shapes above, there is one rectangle. Mark it with R.” Question 4, “a. Draw three dots anywhere in this space. Join them with lines. What shapes do you get?” Students engage in extensive work with grade-level problems to meet the full intent of 1.G.1 (Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.)

The materials provide limited opportunities for all students to engage in extensive work with grade-level problems and/or do not provide opportunities for students to meet the full intent of most of the standards. Examples include, but are not limited to: 

  • Students are not provided the opportunity to engage with the full intent of 1.OA.6 (Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on, making ten, decomposing a number leading to a ten, using the relationship between addition and subtraction, and creating equivalent but easier or known sums.) In Worktext 1-B, Chapter 4: Addition and Subtraction Facts, Addition and Subtraction Facts with 9, Question 1, “Write the fact families where the sum is 9.” One of the items has a picture of a group of 8 stars and a group of 1 star. “______ , _______ , 9 ____ + ____ = _____ ,____ + ____ = _____, ____ - ____ = _____ ,  ____ - ____ = _____ .”  Students are asked to complete two addition and two subtraction problems with the addends for 9. Question 3, “Write the addition facts with 9 and memorize them!” A box is given with ten incomplete equations for students to fill in missing addends for 9.  In Worktext 1-B, Chapter 7: Adding and Subtracting within 0-100, Going Over Ten, Question 2, “First circle ten marbles to make a ten. How many marbles are there in all? a. 7 + 8 = _____” There are a total of eight problems in this lesson that have sums between 11 and 20. Students are not provided with the opportunity to engage with the full intent due to the limited amount of problems presented to them in the materials.  Students have limited work with sums between 10 and 20. 

  • Students do not have the opportunity to engage in extensive work with 1.OA.7 (Understand the meaning of the equal sign, and determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false.) In Worktext 1-A, Chapter 1: Addition Within 0-10, Comparisons, students are told that “= means ‘EQUALS’” and also told the meanings of the symbols  < and > . Question 1, “First add in your head. Then compare and write <, >, or =.  c. 6 ____ 2+3.” Question 6, “Are these additions right? Circle true or false.” “a. 7 + 3 = 10” Students are provided with limited opportunities to determine if equations involving addition and subtraction are true or false.

  • Students do not have the opportunity to engage in extensive work with 1.MD.1 (Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.) In Worktext 1-B, Chapter 6: Shapes and Measuring, Measuring Length, Question 6, “Compare the things to the ‘measuring stick.’ Mark the longer of the two.”  For part a, students are shown a picture of a pen and a pencil, each with a measuring stick underneath.  The pen is longer.  Question 7, “Draw a picture to match the situation.  You can draw stick figures.”  Students draw a picture to solve, “b. The table is taller than little Kyle.  Little Mary is taller than the table.” Students are provided with limited opportunities to compare lengths indirectly using a third object. 

  • Students are not provided the opportunity to engage with the full intent of 1.MD.3 (Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.) In Worktext 1-B, Chapter 5: Time, Whole and Half Hours, Question 1, students are shown a clock with the hour hand only, “Write the time under each clock face. b.  ______ o’clock”  The clock has the hour pointing to 11:00. Question 2, Students are shown a picture of a blank clock, “Draw the hour hand. a. Five o’clock”  Question 8,  students are shown a clock with the hour hand pointing to 12, “Write the time that the clock shows. Then write what the time will be an hour later. b. ____ o’clock, An hour later _________.” Students are not given the opportunities to tell and write time on digital clocks and many of the analog clocks don’t have minute hands, only hour hands.   

  • Students are not provided the opportunity to engage with the full intent of 1.MD.4 (Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.) In Worktext 1-A, Chapter 3: Place Value Within 0-100, Tally Marks, Question 3, “Count the fish. Use tally marks to keep track. Mark each fish you count and make a tally mark for it. That way you won’t count the same fish twice. Then write the number under ‘Count’.” Students count the number of each color (Red, Blue, and Yellow) of fish and record in the chart, but do not answer any questions about how many more or less. 

The materials include some off-grade-level content that negatively impacts students’ work with the grade-level standards. Examples include, but are not limited to: 

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 5: Time, The Calendar, Question 2, “What do the letters Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa mean?” This question asks students to engage in the calendar which is not aligned to a first grade standard.

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 7: Adding and Subtracting within 0-100, Pictographs, students work with these types of questions by analyzing picture graphs, which is a grade 2 standard (2.MD.10).

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 8: Coins, Practicing with Money, Question 3, “Illustrate these amounts of money. Use two quarters in each problem. “c. 58¢” This question asks students to engage in counting money which is not aligned to a first grade standard.

Criterion 1.2: Coherence

03/08

Each grade’s materials are coherent and consistent with the Standards.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations for coherence. The majority of the materials, when implemented as designed, address the major clusters of the grade. The materials partially include problems and activities that serve to connect two or more clusters in a domain or two or more domains in a grade. The materials do not have supporting content that enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade, content from future grades that is identified and related to grade-level work, and do not relate grade-level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades.

Indicator 1C
02/02

When implemented as designed, the majority of the materials address the major clusters of each grade.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, meet expectations that, when implemented as designed, the majority of the materials address the major clusters of each grade. The materials devote at least 65%\% of instructional time to the major clusters of the grade: 

  • The number of chapters devoted to major work of the grade (including assessments and supporting work connected to the major work) is 6 out of 8, approximately 75%\%

  • The number of lessons devoted to major work of the grade (including assessments and supporting work connected to the major work) is 72.5 out of 95, approximately 76%\%

  • The number of days devoted to major work of the grade (including assessments and supporting work connected to the major work) is 131.5 out of 166, approximately 79%\%

A day-level analysis is most representative of the instructional materials as the lessons typically cover multiple days that focus on major work of the grade. As a result, approximately 79%\% of the instructional materials focus on major work of the grade.

Indicator 1D
00/02

Supporting content enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations that supporting content enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade. Throughout the Worktexts, standards are mostly taught in isolation from other standards.  There are missed opportunities to connect supporting work to major work throughout the materials. The materials include a Common Core Alignment Document that does not provide guidance for connections between supporting and major work of the grade.

Examples of connections between supporting and major work include: 

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 2: Subtraction Within 0-10, “How Many More” Problems and Subtraction, connects the supporting work of 1.MD.4 (Organize, represent and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.) to the major work of 1.OA.1(Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions). For example, Question 8, “Zach and Mary want to make a graph of their toys. To complete the graph, draw one block for each toy. Draw them all the same size and lined up in a column, just like the ones for the dolls. d. How many more teddy bears do they have than dolls?” Students subtract based on data shown in the graph. 

Examples of connections between supporting work and major work of the grade that are entirely absent from the materials include, but are not limited to: 

  • No connections are made between the supporting work of 1.MD.4 (Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.), to the major work of 1.NBT.4 (Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten.. 

  • No connections are made between the supporting work of 1.MD.3 (Tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog and digital clocks.) to the major work of 1.NBT.1(Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.) 

  • No connections are made between the supporting work of 1.MD.4 (Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another) to the major work of 1.NBT.3 (Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.) 

  • There are no connections between the supporting work of 1.G.1(Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.) to any major standards in first grade.

Indicator 1E
01/02

Materials include problems and activities that serve to connect two or more clusters in a domain or two or more domains in a grade.

The materials reviewed for  Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, partially meet expectations for including problems and activities that serve to connect two or more clusters in a domain or two or more domains in a grade. Materials contain multiple connections of major work to major work throughout, however, multiple connections from supporting work to supporting work are entirely absent from the grade-level materials. Included within the materials is a Common Core Alignment document, however, the document does not provide explicit guidance for connections between or among domains and clusters. 

Materials provide connections from major work to major work throughout the grade-level when appropriate. Examples include:

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 1: Addition Within 0-10, Sums With 7, connects the major work of 1.OA.C (Add and subtract within 20.)to the major work of 1.OA.D (Work with addition and subtraction equations.). For example, Question 5, “Fill in the missing numbers. You may draw dots to help.  Notice the patterns! b. 0 + ____ = 6   1 + ____ = 6   2 + ____ = 6  3 + _____ = 6”  Students determine the unknown number to solve the addition equation. 

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 3: Place Value Within 0-100, Skip-Counting Practice, connects the major work of 1.NBT.A (Extend the counting sequence.) to the major work of 1.NBT.C (Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.).  For example, Question 5, “Count by tens. Use the chart to help. Notice the patterns! c. ______, 12, ______, 32, _______”  Students count on by tens to finish the counting sequence. 

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 7: Adding and Subtracting Within 0-100, Subtracting from Whole Tens, connects the major work of 1.OA.A (Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.) to the major work of 1.NBT.C (Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.). For example, Question 2, “Subtract the same number three times. a. 70-10-10-10 = ______” Students use their knowledge of place value to subtract multiples of ten. 

The following connections are entirely absent from the materials:

  • No connections are made between the supporting work of 1.MD.B (Tell and write time), the supporting work of 1.MD.C (Represent and interpret data.), and/or the supporting work of 1.G.A (Reason with shapes and their attributes.).

Indicator 1F
00/02

Content from future grades is identified and related to grade-level work, and materials relate grade-level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, do not meet expectations that content from future grades is identified and related to grade-level work, and materials relate grade-level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades. While some references to future or earlier grade work does occur in the introduction lesson, these references are limited, and are not always related to grade-level concepts or work. The materials include a Common Core Alignment Document that lists the grade-level standards addressed in each lesson, however, the document does not include information regarding the progression of the lesson standards between grade-level bands. 

There are some examples of references to future grade content, however these references are not always identified and/or related to grade-level work. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Worktext 1-A, Chapter 1: Addition Within 0-10, Introduction, “These same addition facts are studied again in the following chapter about subtraction. They are also used constantly in all later math work. I recommend that children become fluent with addition facts within 0-10 by the end of first grade.”

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 5: Time, Introduction, “This lesson also includes a few exercises about reading clocks to five-minute intervals using a special clock that includes the numbers for the minute hand; however, these can be skipped if desired, because in second grade, the student will get a lot of practice reading the clock to the nearest five minutes.”

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 7: Adding and Subtracting within 0-100, Introduction, “We study a trick with nine and eight, adding just one more than a known sum, and using the relationship between addition and subtraction to subtract. The actual memorization of the basic addition and subtraction facts within 0-18 is left for second grade.”

There is an example of a reference to prior grade learning, however this reference does not relate grade-level concepts explicitly to prior knowledge from earlier grades:

  • Worktext 1-B, Chapter 4: Addition and Subtraction Facts, Introduction, “Mathematics builds upon previously learned concepts and facts and learning addition and subtraction facts is essential for later study, such as when students add 24 + 5 (in chapter 7 of this curriculum).

In order to foster coherence between grades, materials can be completed within a regular school year with little to no modification.

The materials reviewed for Math Mammoth Grade 1, Light Blue Series, foster coherence between grades and can be completed within a regular school year with little to no modification. Materials are divided between two Worktexts, 1-A and 1-B, that include an introduction for each chapter, and the lessons. A separate assessment book or file (on digital) contains the Chapter tests, cumulative reviews (optional), and the End of the Year test. The materials include 8 chapters which can be completed in 166 days, including 155 days for lessons, chapter reviews and mixed reviews, 11 days for assessments. 

According to the User Guide, Pacing the Curriculum, “Most lessons are 2 or 3 pages long, intended for 1-2 days. Some lessons are 4 pages and can be covered in two days. There are also some optional lessons (not included in the tables on the right). It can also be helpful to calculate a general guideline as to how many pages per week the student should cover in order to go through the curriculum in one school year.” The materials also include a table to calculate the number of pages a student should finish each day to complete the curriculum in the chosen number of school days.

Additional pacing suggestions are provided in the introduction of some chapters. For example, Worktext 1-A, Chapter 1: Addition Within 0-10, Introduction, “Please add one day to the pacing for the test if you will use it. Note that the specific lessons in the chapter can take several days to finish. They are not ‘daily lessons.’ As a general guideline, first graders should finish 1-2 pages daily or 7-9 pages a week.” Each chapter introduction contains a suggested pacing guide for that chapter based on this criteria. Using the criteria we arrive at 155 total days of instruction. There are 8 days for the 8 Chapter tests and 3 days for the End of Year Test, for a total of 166 days.

Optional content if added would account for an additional 10 days. Three of these days would be for optional lessons and the other seven days would be for the cumulative reviews. 

Each chapter introduction contains a link to a list of various free online games and activities. “These games can be used to supplement the math lessons, for learning math facts, or just for some fun."
