Step-by-Step Guidance to Improve Go Math!

Does your school use Go Math! K-5 textbooks? There are new guidance documents available to improve your math program's effectiveness.

The Materials Adaptation Project is a collaborative effort between educators using the program and Student Achievement Partners' experts who worked together to enhance the Go Math! experience to better support standards-focused work.

For each grade, the guidance documents include:

• A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the Go Math! program
• Program-level Rules of Thumb to explain alternate ways to use Go Math! features to better align instruction to college-and-career-ready standards
• Grade-level Rules of Thumb that provide alternate ways to use textbook features in a specific grade
• Chapter-level guidance for each lesson that explains if a lesson should be deleted, modified, added, or left unchanged
• Grade-specific fluency resources

This guidance can be incorporated into scope and sequence documents to help educators integrate alterations seamlessly.
