Kindergarten Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Kindergarten partially meet expectations for alignment to the CCSSM. The materials meet expectations for Gateway 1, focus and coherence. The instructional materials meet expectations for not assessing topics before the grade level in which the topic should be introduced, spend approximately 71% of instructional time on the major work of the grade, and are coherent and consistent with the standards. The instructional materials partially meet expectations for Gateway 2, rigor and the Mathematical Practices. The instructional materials meet expectations for rigor, attending to procedural skill and fluency and conceptual understanding, and they do not always treat the three aspects of rigor together or separately. The instructional materials identify and use the Mathematical Practices (MPs) to enrich grade-level content, but do not provide students with opportunities to meet the full intent of all MPs. The instructional materials meet expectations for students constructing viable arguments and analyzing the arguments of others and also for assisting teachers to engage students in constructing viable arguments and analyzing the arguments of others.
