High School Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for the Agile Mind Integrated series meet expectations for alignment to the CCSSM for high school, Gateways 1 and 2. In Gateway 1, the instructional materials attend to the full intent of the non-plus standards and allow students to fully learn each non-plus standard, but they do not attend to the full intent of the modeling process when applied to the modeling standards. The materials have students engage in mathematics at a level of sophistication appropriate to high school and foster coherence through meaningful connections in a single course and throughout the series, but the materials do not explicitly identify knowledge from Grades 6-8. The instructional materials spend a majority of time on the widely applicable prerequisites from the CCSSM. In Gateway 2, the instructional materials meet the expectation that materials meaningfully connect the Standards for Mathematical Content and the Standards for Mathematical Practice. The instructional materials reviewed meet the expectations for making sense of problems and persevering in solving them as well as attending to precision; reasoning and explaining; seeing structure and generalizing; and modeling and using tools.
