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.

Overview of Gateway 1
Focus & Coherence
The instructional materials for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet the expectations for Gateway 1, focus and coherence. Assessments represent grade-level work, and items that are above grade level can be omitted or modified. Students and teachers using the materials as designed would devote a majority of time to the major work of the grade. The materials are coherent and consistent with the standards.
Gateway 1
v1.0
Criterion 1.1: Focus
The instructional materials for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet the expectations that the materials do not assess topics from future grade levels. The instructional materials do contain assessment items that assess above grade-level content, but these can be omitted or modified in the digital assessment suite.
Indicator 1A
The instructional materials reviewed for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet expectations for assessing grade-level content. There are no assessment items that assess probability, statistics, and similarity/congruence.
In the Florida Assessment Guide for My Math Florida, there are four types of year-long assessments and implementation suggestions (pages iv-v).
- Countdown to FSA contains 20 weeks of two-page practices with five problems each.
- Chapter tests contain problems that assess all of the standards presented in the chapter.
- Performance Tasks for each chapter measure students’ abilities to integrate knowledge and skills across multiple standards.
- Benchmark Assessments address content prior to the assessment point and include a performance task.
The materials in the print Florida Assessment Guide for My Math Florida cannot be edited; however, assessments on the digital platform can be edited. The following assessment items from the print Florida Assessment Guide assess above grade-level content but can be omitted or modified in the digital platform:
- Chapter 2 Test, Question 8, “You walk up to someone who is counting. The numbers you hear are 13, 15, 17. What is the pattern? Predict the next three numbers the person will say.” Creating and extending patterns aligns to 4.OA.3.5.
- Chapter 2 Test, Question 12b, “What pattern do you notice? Do you think this pattern will continue as Monique adds more 5s? Explain.” Identifying and explaining an arithmetic pattern aligns to 3.OA.4.9.
- Benchmark Test 1, Performance Task asks students to research how many inches are in a foot, yard, and meter. Students need this information to answer Part A “Li needs enough tape to go along the length of 2 boards. The first board is a yard long. The second board is a meter long. How many inches of tape does Li need? Write a number sentence and solve.” Converting yards and meters to inches aligns to 4.MD.1.1.
- Benchmark Test 3, Question 23, “While counting your change, you discovered you had 95 cents in your pocket, 152 cents in your bike pouch, and 77 cents under your bed. Will you have enough to buy a magazine for 320 cents? Explain.” Two-step word problems with numbers greater than 100 aligns to 3.OA.4.8.
- Benchmark Test 4, Question 19, “While counting his change, Kwan discovered he had 134 cents in his pocket, 78 cents in his wallet, and 84 cents on his dresser. Will he have enough to buy lunch for 245 cents? Explain.” Two-step word problems with numbers greater than 100 aligns to 3.OA.4.8.
Criterion 1.2: Coherence
The instructional materials for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet the expectations for spending a majority of class time on major work of the grade when using the materials as designed.

- Six of the 12, or about 50 percent of the time, is spent on the major work of the grade.
- Four chapters of the 12, or about 33 percent 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 percent of the time.
- Two of the 12 chapters (Chapters 10 and 12), or about 17 percent 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 percent of the time) are focused on the major work of the grade level.
- 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

Gateway 2
v1.0
Criterion 2.1: Rigor
The instructional materials reviewed for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet the expectations for rigor and balance. The instructional materials give appropriate attention to conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application, and the materials address these three aspects with balance, not always treating them separately and not always together. Overall, the instructional materials help students meet rigorous expectations by developing conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application.
Indicator 2A
The instructional materials for My Math Florida Grade 2 meet the expectations that the materials develop conceptual understanding of key mathematical concepts, especially where called for in specific standards or cluster headings.
