7th Grade Report Overview

The instructional materials for Dimensions Math Grade 7 do not meet expectations for alignment to the CCSSM. In Gateway 1, the instructional materials do not meet the expectations for focus as they assess above-grade-level standards and devote less than 65% of instructional time to the major work of the grade. For coherence, the instructional materials are partially coherent and consistent with the Standards. The instructional materials contain supporting work that enhances focus and coherence simultaneously by engaging students in the major work of the grade and foster coherence through connections at a single grade. Since the materials do not meet the expectations for focus and coherence in Gateway 1, they were not reviewed for rigor and the mathematical practices in Gateway 2 or usability in Gateway 3.
