Evaluation for 1.1b
The materials do not provide specific guidance about implementingComplete Mathin kindergarten. Instead, the videos are broad and cover all programs under theEssential Skillsumbrella, such as K–3 Reading, 4–6 Reading, K–3 Math, ELL (English Learning), Science/Geography, and more. Additionally, the videos reference and use examples that are not part of our product.In the Help section of theTeacherDashboard, educators can access the"Essential Skills Online Manual: Teaching & Practice Software,"butitdoes not provide program usage or recommendations for adapting to meet student needs in various contexts.On the Teacher Dashboard in the Helpsection under "Instructional Videos," the materials provide links to YouTube videos with embedded commercials. The videos are generic in focus and deal with logistical issues like administrator access, running reports, creating an assignment, assigning a pretest, etc. The"OnlineManual" includes sections"Using the Program"and"Using the Teacher Dashboard,"but does not provide specific strategies for effective educator use, such as just-in-time supports, advanced learning, or as a course.
Evaluation for 1.1c
The materials do not include a TEKS correlation guide with skill entry points based on diagnostic assessment results.Due to the adaptive nature of the program, students are placed in learning pathways specific to their needs based on a pretest that is not aligned to the TEKS.

The materials forgrade K do not include responsive learning objectives that are TEKS aligned or ELPS aligned.Complete Math Grades K–1provides an"Online Manual: Teaching & Practice Software,"but it does not include lesson components with suggested time frames or time allocations. For example, the section titled"Using the Program"states,"It is advised that students work on the program for at least 20–30 minutes, three times per week to receive the full benefits of the software."The materials are missing suggested pacing for individual lesson components.On theTeacher Dashboard,educators can access various reports, such as the Skill Report, Activity Report, Unit Report, Hot-Spot Report, Pre-Test Report, Post-Test Report, and Mastery Report. However, none of these reports include assessment resources aligned with the TEKS.
Evaluation for 1.2c
The materials do not contain support for families in each unit to support the progress of students. A printable letter about getting started on the program at home is available in Spanish and English. The letter only provides logistical support for accessing and logging into the program. For example, the letter states,"As part of our school subscription, we are able to provide your child with access to these fantastic learning resources at home! We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to help further your child's educational development."The materials provide login instructions, includingschool ID,username,password, and a phone number for technical support.

Evaluation for 2.1a
The materials do not define the pretest and posttest as diagnostic, summative, or formative assessments. They includeonetype of assessment: a pre-/posttest.The materials define the pretests as placement tests and state that the posttest functions like the pretest. One type assesses students until they score below 80percenton a module, then it generates an assignment that includes that module and all those that follow. The other type assesses all modules within the program and creates an assignment based only on the modules the student did not pass.
Evaluation for 2.1b
The materials do not offer specific guidance on how to consistently or accurately administer the assessments. The materials instruct the teacher to assign the pretests and posttests to students. Educators can access theTeacherDashboard to view help videos under the Help heading. The links direct users to the materials' public-facing website, where there are links to YouTube videos, with commercials, that provide procedural support to teachers on how to assign pretests andposttests to students.The materials lack guidance to support students and do not include clear directions for completing the pretests andposttests.
Evaluation for 2.1c
The materials do not include printable versions of the digital pretests andposttests.The materials do not provide accommodations of any type to support individual students. For example,Essential Skills Complete Math Grades K–1provides an instructional video tutorial page, but none of the videos cover text-to-speech, content, and language supports, or calculators that educators can enable or disable to support individual students.
Evaluation for 2.1d
The materials do not include diagnostic assessments with TEKS-aligned tasks or questions.The materials do not include interactive item types with varying levels of complexity required by the TEKS.
Evaluation for 2.1e
The materials do not include formative assessments with TEKS-aligned tasks or interactive questions.The materials do not include interactive item types with varying levels of complexity required by the TEKS.
Evaluation for 2.2a
The materials do not include guidance for interpreting student performance beyond looking at each student's correct and incorrect answers.The materials do not include a rationale for each correct or incorrect response.The materials provided reports that provide teachers with limited details, such as the topic assessed, time spent, number of questions attempted, number of questions correct, percentage correct, average score, highest scores, and the date of completion.
Evaluation for 2.2b
The materials do not provide guidance for using tasks and activities to respond to student performance on assessments. The section titled"Using the Teacher Dashboard"guides educators on accessing various reports, such as the Skill Report, Activity Report, Unit Report, Hot-Spot Report, Pre-Test Report, Post-Test Report, and Mastery Report.The materials use a pretest andposttestthat functions like a pretest to determine each student's learning path within the program. For example, based on a student's performance on the pretest, adaptive materials generate a personalized sequence of recommended tasks or activities. Specific options may be temporarily disabled until the student demonstrates mastery of prerequisite concepts.
Evaluation for 2.2c
The materials do not provide tools for teachers to track student progress and growth. The materials provide limited reports, such as Skill Report, Activity Report, Unit Report, Hot-Spot Report, Pre-Test Report, Post-Test Report, and Mastery Report. The results provided are of isolated skills or activities for individual students. The reports do not collect and report collated sets of data that allow teachers to track growth over time or across related concepts.The materials do not include tools for students to self-monitor their progress and growth. In the student-facing materials, the only feedback provided for the student is passive and at the end of an assignment, where it shows a colored star, using gray for non-mastery, half gold for partial mastery, or gold for mastery, and an accuracy percentage. This color coding is not explained to the student, and students cannot track their progress or growth throughout the learning path or the materials as a whole.
Evaluation for 2.2d
This guidance is not applicable because the program is not designed to be static.
Evaluation for 2.2e
The materials do not provide checks for understanding, nor do the materials offer differentiated practice to target specific skill gaps. Amodule lockswhen a student achieves 80percentor better, or stays open as long as the student's accuracy score is below 80percent.The materials present all students with the same sequence of activities or tasks and do not adapt in response to answer choices. Instructional adjustments occur only after a pretest or after aposttestthat functions like a pretest.

The materials provide practice opportunities that do not require students to demonstrate depth of understanding. For example, in "Grades K–1," thekindergarten TEKS require that students are expected to identify, describe, and extend simple patterns. However, the activity in the materials only requires students to identify patterns by choosing which object is missing.The materials provide assessments that are not aligned to the TEKS and, as such, do not require students to demonstrate depth of understanding aligned to the TEKS.

Additionally, activities focus solely on procedural practice without helping students recognize patterns or relationships between different mathematical concepts.
Evaluation for 4.2b
The materials do not demonstrate vertical coherence. Instead, the materials present topics in isolation without revisiting prior concepts or connecting them to future learning.The practice activities are bundled by domain, but each domain is a collection of isolated skills that do not cross topics or connect patterns, big ideas, or relationships.The materials for kindergarten and grade 1 are combined into the same product, and concepts and skills are not defined or delineated by grade-level.
Evaluation for 4.2c
The materials do not connect students'prior knowledge of concepts to the concepts to be learned in the current grade level or future grade levels.The materials do not connect students'prior knowledge of procedures to the concepts to be learned in the current grade level or future grade levels.The materials group activities by domain, and each domain contains isolated activities. There are no teacher- or computer-guided lessons in these materials; instead, students are placed in learning paths that provide only isolated skill practice. The materials for kindergarten and grade 1 are combined into the same product, and concepts and skills are not defined or delineated by grade level.
Evaluation for 4.3a
The materials do not contain spaced retrieval opportunities with previously learned skills across learning pathways. For example, the activities are grouped by a single domain, such as "Geometry," and provide isolated skill work on concepts within that domain. Once mastery is achieved in an activity, students lose access to it and cannot revisit it to review.The materials assign learning pathways based on student performance on a pretest orposttest. Then, the materials move the student through each assignment created on the pathway, beginning with the first activity on the list and then moving sequentially to the last.
Evaluation for 4.3b
The materials do not provide interleaved practice opportunities with previously learned skills and concepts. The materials adopt a non-spiraling method, concentrating on individual concepts rather than revisiting and intertwining them across learning pathways.The materials only include practice sets that focus on one concept or skill at a time. All concepts are presented in isolation and do not support flexible thinking as students learn to switch between different types of problems and strategies.

Evaluation for 5.1a
The program provides activities that require students to interpret models and representations.However, the questions do not require students to analyze and evaluate on a deeper level.One of the activities on data management asks the student to interpret graphs and representations to answer questions. For example, in the activity on graphing rainy days, the student is shown a pictograph of the number of days it rained in the specified months or seasons. The student interprets the data provided by answering questions such as, "How many rainy days were there for Summer?"
Evaluation for 5.1b
The materials include questions and tasks that provide opportunities for students to create pictorial representations of mathematical situations. For example, one activity in the subtraction section requires the student to look at two boxes with pictorial objects placed in the top box. The program tells the student to take away the said amount by clicking on the picture and moving it to the bottom box. After students take away the correct amount, the student types the number to represent how many are left in the top box.The materials do not provide opportunities for students to create concrete models to represent mathematical situations. The materials are fully digital and do not direct or suggest that students use concrete models concurrently with the digital activities presented.

The materials do not contain questions and tasks that provide opportunities for students to apply conceptual understanding to new problem situations and contexts.After navigating to Numbering> Money > American > Count Quarters > Complete Math Grades K–1, students will find activities in which students click on coins to find a given amount. However, the materials do not include opportunities to apply true conceptual understanding through the application of problem-solving in real-world contexts.After navigating to Measurement > Temperature > Hot Times, > Cold Times, students are asked to interpret a weather graph by identifying how many days will be rainy. However, students do not apply conceptual understanding to demonstrate learning
Evaluation for 5.2a
The materials do not support the development of fluency, such as understanding when and how to apply strategies, selecting from multiple approaches, and solving problems with confidence and comprehension; instead, the materials focus on memorization and recall of facts and do not allow students to formulate strategies to improve their accuracy and speed.The materials do not adjust lesson presentation based on student accuracy; instead, the materials present module activities in the same order to all students. If the student scores lower than 80percent, the module remains open for the student to repeat the activities until they achieve a passing score.
Evaluation for 5.2b
The materials do not allow for flexibility or exploration of alternative strategies. They present the student with a single strategy for solving problems and tell the student to select an answer or type a number, depending on the activity.The materials do not ask the student to defend or explain answer choices. When the student selects an incorrect answer, the materials play an auditory sound, but do not prompt the student with a review or any feedback to help determine the correct answer. The materials allow the student to select multiple wrong answers in a row before the materials move to the next item.
Evaluation for 5.2c
The materialsdo not provide opportunities for students to evaluate mathematical representations, models, strategies, and solutions for efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy.The materials do not support critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students are not asked to evaluate anything in the learning paths; instead, the materials present students with a single strategy for solving a given problem.The materials focus only on accuracy and do not provide opportunities for student reflection, explanation, or discussion.
Evaluation for 5.2d
The materials do not contain any educator, student, or instructional guidance or explanations of efficient approaches to problem solving.
Evaluation for 5.3a
The materialsdo not explicitly state how the conceptual emphasis of the TEKS is addressed, as the materials are not TEKS aligned.
Evaluation for 5.3b
The materials present all tasks in a lesson using one representation without a concrete-pictorial-abstract progression. For example, a task focused on adding using number sentences tells the student to type the correct answer. This activity is followed by nine more activities in the exact same format, where the only change is in the number sentence.The materials do not consistently integrate practice opportunities using representations or manipulatives throughout lessons and units. For example, in a task involving adding numbers 7–9, the first task tells the student to click on the flower under the box to represent the same number of flowers as the number over the box. The second activity displays a number sentence, 1 + 1 = ___, and tells the student to type the number. There are no manipulatives in the second activity.The materials provide tasks requiring students to engage with representations or tools that are not aligned to grade-level content. For example, in a kindergarten graphing activity, the student is asked to interpret data from a bar graph, which is not part of the kindergarten TEKS.
