Overview of Gateway 1

Focus & Coherence

Students and teachers using the materials as designed will devote a majority of time in Grade 2 on the major work of the grade. The materials are mostly coherent and consistent with the standards. Assessments only represent grade-level work. Four percent of the lessons are on future grade level content and are not clearly identified. About 74% of the time is spent on the major work of the grade. Overall, the materials do provide a focus on the major work and the materials are coherent.

Criterion 1.1: Focus

02/02
Materials do not assess topics before the grade level in which the topic should be introduced.

The Grade 2 My Math instructional materials assess topics from future grade levels, however an online test generator is available, so points were not deducted. The form assessments are featured in the digital companion. Six assessment forms exist for each chapter and an online test generator is available.

Indicator 1A
02/02
The instructional material assesses the grade-level content and, if applicable, content from earlier grades. Content from future grades may be introduced but students should not be held accountable on assessments for future expectations.

The Grade 2 My Math instructional materials assesses future grade-level content on form assessments, however an online test generator is included in the materials for teachers to create their own assessments. With the inclusion of the digital test generator the Grade 2 My Math materials would not assess future grade level content if teachers created their own assessments.

  • My Math assesses content from future grades on three of its form assessments.
  • The assessment for chapter 3 on form 3A and 3B, questions 9 and 17 assess elapsed time which is a Grade 3 expectation.
  • The chapter 10 assessment form 1A and 1B, questions 11 and 12, form 2A and 2B, questions 16 and 17; and form 3A and 3B, questions 15 and 16 all assess elapsed time, which is again, a Grade 3 expectation.
  • The chapter 11 assessment form 1A and 1B, questions 5 and 8, form 2A and 2B, questions 6 and 10 and form 3A and 3B, question 7 all assess conversion of units which is a Grade 4 standard.
  • Six assessment forms and a test generator is included with the digital companion and teachers could build their own assessment, which would not assess future grade level material.
  • In chapters 1, 2, 5 and 9, two formative assessments and a chapter review are in the student edition.
  • The rest of the chapters 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 have one formative assessment and a chapter review in the student edition.
  • There are also four benchmark tests available online. Benchmark 1 (chapters 1-2), Benchmark 2 (chapters 3-4), Benchmark 3 (chapters 5-7), and Benchmark 4 (chapters 1-12).

Criterion 1.2: Coherence

04/04
Students and teachers using the materials as designed devote the large majority of class time in each grade K-8 to the major work of the grade.

Students and teachers using the materials as designed would devote the large majority of class time to the major work of the grade. Time spent on the major work was figured using days, lessons and chapters. At least 80% of the time is spent on the major work of the grade.

Indicator 1B
04/04
Instructional material spends the majority of class time on the major cluster of each grade.

The Grade 2 instructional materials spend the majority of time on the major clusters of the grade. Grade 2 materials for My Math is taught in 12 chapters which is scheduled to be taught in 160 days.

  • Six of the 12 or about 50% of the time is spent on the major work of the grade.
  • Four chapters of the 12 or about 33% of the time is spent on supporting work which truly supports the major work of the grade. This brings the time spent on the major work to closer to 83% of the time.
  • Two of the 12 chapters (chapters 10 and 12) or about 17% of the time are supporting work, which is treated separately.
  • Each chapter provides two days for review and assess which is included in the 160-day count. In the curriculum, 128 out of 160 days (approximately 80% of the time) are focused on the major work of the grade level. .
  • Furthermore, 32 out of the 160 days are spent on supporting and additional clusters.
  • All chapters are focused on Grade 2 curriculum.

Criterion 1.3: Coherence

07/08
Coherence: Each grade's instructional materials are coherent and consistent with the Standards.

The instructional materials are mostly coherent and consistent with the standards. Four lessons from future grade level content are present and are not clearly identified as such. The materials represent a year of viable content. Teachers using the materials would give their students extensive work in grade level problems, with 96% of the lessons representing grade-level work. Materials describe how the lessons connect with the grade level standards and with prior and future standards. Overall coherence and consistency of the standards is achieved in Grade 2 My Math.

Indicator 1C
02/02
Supporting content enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade.

Supporting content for Grade 2 My Math enhances focus and content by engaging students in the major work of the grade. Overall, the instructional materials do not miss opportunities to connect non-major clusters of standards to major clusters, and as a result, the supporting content does engage students in the major work of Grade 2.

  • Six chapters consist of supporting work and four of those chapters enhance the major work of the grade.
  • The content in chapters 2, 8, 9 and 11 are strong examples of using supporting work to engage students in the major work of the grade.
