New reviews of four K-8 math series from EdReports.org
New reviews of four K-8 math series (15 grade-level reports) are now available on the EdReports.org website. Educators from across the country worked diligently, using our rigorous methodology, to analyze these materials and provide high-quality evidence that will support classrooms nationwide. We are both grateful for and proud of the work that our reviewers have completed.
We look forward to publishing another 40 reports from 8 additional K-8 math series later this spring. As always, these reviews will include the detailed evidence reports developed by our Educator Review Team members.
None of the materials included in today’s list fully met our criteria for alignment; however, reviewers documented positive evidence in several grade levels that can benefit teachers and students. Below is a summary of our findings, and we encourage you to dig into the detailed reviews available on the website.
Glencoe 6-8 (McGraw-Hill) Both 7th and 8th grade met our criteria for focus and coherence, but did not meet our criteria for rigor and mathematical practices. Grade 6 partially met our criteria for focus and coherence, but did not meet our criteria for rigor and mathematical practices.
MathLinks 6-8 (Center for Mathematics and Teaching) Grade 8 met our criteria for focus and coherence and partially met our criteria for rigor and mathematical practices. Grade 7 partially met our criteria for focus, coherence, rigor, and mathematical practices.
Springboard 6-8 (College Board) Grade 8 partially met our criteria for focus and coherence, but did not meet our criteria for rigor and mathematical practices.
Connecting Math Concepts K-5 (McGraw-Hill) None of the materials met our criteria for focus and coherence.
Please see below for more updates and stay tuned for more K-8 math reviews, high school math reviews and ELA reviews over the coming months. As always, please contact me with any questions or suggestions for how to improve our work and hit our mission to increase the quality of materials nationwide.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
