Math Pilot - Program Adoption

Board of Education Meeting

May 26, 2026

2 of 19

Needs and Process

Needs: a fully aligned and articulated elementary math program with teacher materials, student materials, and a standards-aligned assessment package

Pilot Process:

Four programs - approximately one class per grade
One unit/module of similar/same topic at each grade level
All teacher and student materials (teacher manuals, online access, workbooks)
Professional development for all programs
Observations, meetings, walk-throughs during the pilot
Debriefs with each group of teachers utilizing Google classroom to collect data and feedback such as rubrics, open ended questions, and student performance
Student feedback (grades 3-5) and family feedback surveys
Reviewed digital and print materials, assessments, and program offerings beyond the modules of instruction

Programs of Interest

CLEAR Math - Carnegie Learning: new k-5 with successful 6-12 programs; digital tools, pre, formative, summative, and progress monitoring assessments; differentiated reengagement days

enVision - Savvas: digital tools, pre, formative, summative, and progress monitoring assessments; whole group problem solving launch followed by differentiated small group instruction

Eureka Math Squared (EM2) - Great Minds: built in fluency; abundant clear and simple print materials; pre and summative assessments for modules; digital assessments grades 3-5 with 1 and 2 for 2026-2027; tiered independent work

Into Math - Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH): digital tools, pre, formative, summative, and progress monitoring assessments; whole group problem solving launch followed by differentiated small group instruction including a reteach guide

CLEAR Math Strengths & Areas for Improvement

Strengths:

Student-friendly
Hands-on/play-based
Flexible; flexible pacing
Accessible for a wider range of learners; classrooms with varied readiness levels
Student engagement and discourse
Differentiated reengagement days based on lesson data
Pre-assessments
Progress monitoring assessments
Family engagement resources

Areas for Improvement:

Daily lesson lacks explicit enrichment
Relatively new for K-5 and not adopted regionally
Fluency practice (prior and recently learned skills) is not embedded in the lesson timing

Eureka Math Squared Strengths & Areas for Improvement

Strengths:

High quality lesson materials
Carefully sequenced lessons and consistency across grade levels
Emphasizes deep conceptual understanding
Strong number sense
Fluency practice built into each lesson
Widely used nationally (more local resources)
Pre-assessments
Family engagement resources

Areas for Improvement:

Language-heavy
Difficult pacing (lengthy lessons and little to no time for reteach built in)
While opportunities are present, it lacks explicit formative assessment differentiation
Assessments do not include progress monitoring
Supports for struggling learners can be difficult without additional scaffolds

Why is CLEAR for Highland Park?�

Works well in classrooms with varied readiness; reading and language is less of a barrier
Hands on for students; allows time for discourse
Formative assessment is used to instruct during planned reengagement days with differentiated lessons/activities

Includes reteach, reinforced practice, and enrichment activities
aligns with HPPS Strategic Goals

Progress monitoring assessments allow us to measure student growth toward grade-level standards throughout the year, rather than assessing performance based solely on the most recently taught material
Digital resources for teachers and students with flexible pacing

Why is CLEAR for Highland Park?�

Research study with grades 3 - 5 and four groups (all students, economically disadvantaged students, Black students, and Hispanic students)

The average improvement across pre-post comparisons was 18%+ in terms of percentage change in proficiency level groupings
In fourth grade, the percentage increases in the number of economically disadvantaged, black, and Hispanic students who approached, met or exceeded expectations were 18.0%, 18.6%, and 37.2%, respectively, above the 11.6% increase for all students

Full Package - Student digital and print, teacher digital and print, assessments (digital and print with data recording and item analysis)

13 of 19

Instructional Sequence - promotes engaging students in the learning, allowing for exploration and both group and independent work, reflection and assessment
