[email protected]Overall, this curriculum appears to be a well-rounded and comprehensive resource for Catholic schools, particularly those looking for a program that integrates faith-based values with math learning. It offers a variety of materials to support teachers and students, with a strong focus on fluency development and Catholic social teaching.

[email protected]This program has easy to use materials, procedural fluency charts, real-world examples (limited), good teacher resources, and manipulatives available for optional purchase. The online materials are pretty basic and it does not include a personalized pathway for students. Has an Accelerated curriculum mostly aligned to our 7-7-8 course of study.

It includes a Desmos calculator and Google Classroom integration is available. Digital tools are generally better than printable materials. Includes i-Ready diagnostic.

Other Resources Reviewed:
Bridges
This program requires "buy in" to its philosophy and pedagogical structure. It would require extensive professional development on the recommended instructional practices.
Kendall-Hunt Illustrative Math
While this program has a very good approach to teaching certain concepts, it is not aligned to our standards and would be very confusing for a teacher to teach. This can be used as a supplemental but not recommended for a core curriculum.
Eureka Math
While the problems are rigorous and very focused on real world applications, the program layout is not aligned to our course of study. However, a version of this is offered online at no cost, so teachers can use this as a supplemental, especially the application problems.
