Description¶

The curriculum is "built around research-based learning progressions, a Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract model, and rich mathematical activities designed to connect concepts, interleave and space practice for long-term retention, and provide meaningful contexts for learning." This design pattern organizes content sequencing, activity design, and practice scheduling across the PreK-8 program.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Teacher lesson guides and manipulative materials to enact the progression-based, CPA-aligned activities

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

PreK-8 students

Learning Goals¶

Long-term retention of mathematics concepts
Connected conceptual understanding
