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: Spider Learning Mathematics | Math
Math 6-8
The instructional materials for Spider Learning Mathematics Grades 6-8 do not meet expectations for focus and coherence in Gateway 1. While the materials include content viable for one school year, and there are some connections between supporting and major work of the grade, they do not focus on grade level content and attend to the major work of the grade. They do not meet expectations for coherence as they are not coherent with the progressions of the standards, do not present opportunities for students to engage with extensive work with grade-level problems, and do not foster connections where appropriate and called for by the Standards. Since the materials do not meet expectations for Gateway 1, they were not reviewed for Gateway 2 or Gateway 3.
