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: Zearn | Math
Math K-2
The instructional materials for Zearn Grades 1-5 meet the expectations for focus and coherence in Gateway 1. All grades meet the expectations for focus as they assess grade-level topics and spend the majority of class time on major work of the grade. Grades 1-5 meet the expectations for coherence, In Gateway 2, all grades meet the expectations for rigor and balance, but all grades partially meet the expectations for practice-content connections as they do not always identify the Mathematical Practices or attend to the full meaning of each practice standard. In Gateway 3, all grades meet the expectations for instructional supports and usability. The instructional materials show strengths by being well designed and taking into account effective lesson structure and pacing, and they meet the expectations for offering teachers resources and tools to collect ongoing data about student progress on the Standards.
Materials for Kindergarten were not available at the time the review was initiated. EdReports will review the materials in the future.
