Grades 3–8

Systematic, standards-based instruction, practice, and assessment build mastery

Using the four-step process, diagnose student performance, target the most important topics, and guide students through scaffolded instruction, practice, and assessment. Each lesson begins with an assessment of prior knowledge, builds the targeted skill through guided practice, and develops students’ competence and confidence using independent practice and partner activities. Unit practice tests provide a range of standardized test items to assess progress and identify areas requiring additional instruction or intervention.

Individualize instruction through diagnostic tests, lesson progress monitoring, and unit tests, calibrate preparedness for state tests using two full-length assessments.

Teacher Editions include answers and solutions for all lesson and test questions, a standards correlation, and a reproducible answer key chart to use to assess students' strengths and weaknesses.
