6th Grade - Gateway 3

Materials provide teacher guidance with useful annotations and suggestions for how to enact the student materials and ancillary materials, with specific attention to engaging students in order to guide their mathematical development.

Materials contain adult-level explanations and examples of the more complex grade-level/course-level concepts and concepts beyond the current course so that teachers can improve their own knowledge of the subject.

Materials include standards correlation information that explains the role of the standards in the context of the overall series.

Materials provide strategies for informing all stakeholders, including students, parents, or caregivers about the program and suggestions for how they can help support student progress and achievement.

Materials provide explanations of the instructional approaches of the program and identification of the research-based strategies.

Materials provide a comprehensive list of supplies needed to support instructional activities.

This is not an assessed indicator in Mathematics.

This is not an assessed indicator in Mathematics.

Assessment information is included in the materials to indicate which standards are assessed.

Assessment system provides multiple opportunities throughout the grade, course, and/or series to determine students' learning and sufficient guidance to teachers for interpreting student performance and suggestions for follow-up.

Assessments include opportunities for students to demonstrate the full intent of grade-level/course-level standards and practices across the series.

Assessments offer accommodations that allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills without changing the content of the assessment.

Materials provide strategies and supports for students in special populations to support their regular and active participation in learning grade-level/series mathematics.

Materials provide extensions and/or opportunities for students to engage with grade-level/course-level mathematics at higher levels of complexity.

Materials provide varied approaches to learning tasks over time and variety in how students are expected to demonstrate their learning with opportunities for students to monitor their learning.

Materials provide opportunities for teachers to use a variety of grouping strategies.

Materials provide strategies and supports for students who read, write, and/or speak in a language other than English to regularly participate in learning grade-level mathematics.

Materials provide a balance of images or information about people, representing various demographic and physical characteristics.

Materials provide guidance to encourage teachers to draw upon student home language to facilitate learning.

Materials provide guidance to encourage teachers to draw upon student cultural and social backgrounds to facilitate learning.

Materials provide supports for different reading levels to ensure accessibility for students.

Manipulatives, both virtual and physical, are accurate representations of the mathematical objects they represent and, when appropriate, are connected to written methods.

Materials integrate technology such as interactive tools, virtual manipulatives/objects, and/or dynamic mathematics software in ways that engage students in the grade-level/series standards, when applicable.

Materials include or reference digital technology that provides opportunities for teachers and/or students to collaborate with each other, when applicable.

The visual design (whether in print or digital) supports students in engaging thoughtfully with the subject, and is neither distracting nor chaotic.

Materials provide teacher guidance for the use of embedded technology to support and enhance student learning, when applicable.
