Program Features
Instructional Design
The instructional design in Classroom Mathematics California reflects the Mathematics Framework’s emphasis on Big Ideas in mathematics as connected and interrelated, rather than as a series of discrete topics.
The Big Ideas in Classroom Mathematics California serve as a roadmap for both teachers and students to connect mathematical concepts across lessons and units.Structured for In-Depth Learning
The multiple-day lesson structure provides time for California students to develop deep understanding and make connections that extend across the lessons in a unit to build Big Ideas.
Classroom Mathematics California provides opportunities for students to build their data literacy and data science skills with Data Talks and Data Investigations that are built into the program. The resources allow students to apply and strengthen grade-level mathematics while exploring data and developing their data literacy skills.
All students bring assets, funds of knowledge, and variability of their learning. Classroom Mathematics California embraces the UDL to remove barriers to learning so all students have opportunities to succeed and see themselves as mathematicians.
Celebrate the Student
Problem contexts, authentic activities, and images with varied cultural representations make mathematics relevant and culturally sustaining to California students as they see themselves in the content.
Build Student Confidence as Mathematics Learners
The Try–Discuss–Connect instructional framework affirms multiple ways of approaching and solving mathematics problems. Students have access to multimodal and hands-on learning with real and digital manipulatives and math tools. The program also encourages discourse through partner and whole class discussions.
Language Routines
Language Routines, which help students learn the academic language of mathematics, support students in understanding problems. Routines are flexible and can be switched out as desired.
Protocols for Engagement
Use varied and flexible cultural communication modes to structure activities that encourage all students to participate.
Remove Barriers to Learning
Universal supports, such as manipulatives and digital accessibility features, the Student Bookshelf, and Interactive Practice, ensure all students can fully and effectively engage with the content.
UDL Implementation Support
This program provides resources to help teachers confidently integrate UDL-aligned practices into their planning, teaching, and classroom environment.
Classroom Mathematics California ensures that all students, including English Learners, have the support they need to engage with rigorous content and communicate their ideas effectively. Language-related features and resources address the California ELD Standards and show teachers how to scaffold instruction, so English Learners can develop the academic language they need for success in mathematics.
Connect to Language Development: Differentiation to Support English Learners
Every session includes a support continuum of English proficiency levels, focused on California ELD Standards. Differentiation speaks to specific lesson content and provides guidance for specific activities.
Encourage Home Language
The Cognate Support routine at the start of each unit encourages English Learners to use their first language to make associations to academic words.
Develop Academic Language
Develop Academic Language for all students at the word, sentence, or discourse level. Focus includes multiple-meaning words, affixes, word families, irregular verbs, unpacking and constructing complex sentences, and conversation tips.
