Curriculum Analysis Tools

This project developed tools for assessing the potential of curriculum materials to support students’ attainment of the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, including the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) and/or other State standards.

The tools are designed to provide educators with objective measures and information to guide their selection of curriculum materials based on evidence of the materials’ ability to support learning for each and every student.
