This will be a challenge.ĥ Universal Access/ Differentiation Every lesson provides differentiated activities Most lessons include Puzzle Penguin to encourage students to do error analysis Materials for English learners are available in every lesson EL materials help student scaffold and access the material There are materials for advanced students in each lesson Reteach materials are difficult to find Materials for at risk students are difficult to find It is difficult to find materials for SPED students Assessment Program has multiple assessments available for each unit Summative assessments are available for each chapter The assessments help students move towards mastery of the content standards and SMPs The assessments take multiple forms to help build rigor The online assessments scaffold and adjust based on students skills Assessments are using multiple methods to access student knowledge Parent reports are available for each unit SBAC preparation is available within this program. There is a great amount of information that is provided per lesson. Intensive study of the TE would be needed. The digital/online offerings are difficult to navigate and would take the average teacher extra time to find and utilize information Pacing of lessons is not intuitively sequential. Real world applications are indicated throughout the text. SMPs and standards are posted in both the TE and the SE. Direct Instruction strategy cards are provided, geared to give students deeper directions into concepts. content is aligned Vocabulary is tied to the lessons Content/ to the content standards in a activity not always to the math Alignment clear focused manner standard or math concept with the Content Standards Vocabulary is provided to develop student understanding The student edition lacks a clear overview of the chapter Activities and Questions are open ended and varied allowing for conversations to occur There are concrete representations such as diagrams and images to help with student understanding Provides a variety of ways to teach a concept Methods and algorithms are based on principals and not based on tricks Important mathematical concepts, table of contents and indexes are included Glossary is not included in the student editionĤ Content is aligned to standards None noted Content/ Alignment with the Content Standards are worded through the focus of the lesson Standards - Standards for Mathematical Practice Mathematical Practices are labeled and defined for each lesson There is an activity directly related to the MP (correlates very well) Teaching strategies, questions, notes and activities are available to aid teachers in delivering the MPs and having students practice the MPs MPs are in student edition and teacher edition Digital and online materials are Content/ helpful for teaching math Alignment with concepts the Content Standards - Consistent Progressions Extensive unit overviews per unit are provided to teachers that includes direct instruction strategies, UA, center challenges, RtI, etc.
The student edition provides materials that are interactive and manipulative so the students can perform tasks with the materials they need to learn successfully. Extensive unit reviews for the teacher will give the instructor various ways to teach concepts to the students, help guide instruction, provided RtI levels to differentiate for all students, and challenges for all students to dig deeper into their learning for each unit presented. Hands- on activities that foster growth in mathematics as well as in working with individual, small group, and whole group situations allow the students to explore multiple situations within the units provided. 1 Math Materials Review Committee Reports For Houghton Mifflin Expressions SBCUSD For Internal Use OnlyĢ Kindergarten Houghton Mifflin Expressionsģ Textbook Review Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Expressions Grade: Kindergarten Summary Statement: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Expressions, a Common Core based program, allows the student to use real world experiences to help them relate to their mathematical world.
