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: Connecting Math Concepts - Elementary | Math
Math K-2
The instructional materials reviewed in Grades K-2 do not meet expectations for focus nor for coherence. Each grade level includes many instances of assessing topics above grade level. Grades K-2 do not devote sufficient time to the major work of the grade level standards. There are a few instances in each grade of supporting work continuing the learning in major work clusters. The materials do not meet other indicators of coherence, including attending to the progressions, connecting mathematical topics, and providing adequate lessons and activities to support a full year of learning.
