6th Grade Report Overview

The instructional materials for Spider Learning Mathematics Grade 6 do not meet expectations for alignment to college and career ready (Common Core State Standards for Mathematics). In Gateway 1, the instructional materials do not meet expectations for focus. The materials assess above grade-level content and do not spend 65% of class time on the major work of the grade. The instructional materials do not meet expectations for coherence. While the content presented is viable for one school year, and there are some connections between supporting work and the major work of the grade, the materials are not coherent with the progressions of the standards, do not present opportunities for students to engage with all grade-level standards, and do not foster connections where appropriate and called for by the Standards. Since the materials do not meet expectations for Gateway 1, they were not reviewed for rigor and the mathematical practices in Gateway 2, or usability in Gateway 3.
