Materials include teacher guidance for differentiation and scaffolds with varying instructional approaches such as the Stronger and Clearer Each Time, Collect and Display, Co-Craft Questions, Three Reads, and Discussion Supports. Additionally, the program includes coherence across units by connecting content and language learned in previous courses/grade levels. 

Campus and district instructional leaders should consider the following:

• While the product features comprehensive and detailed lessons with guidance for differentiation and variety of instructional approaches, the lessons do not align to the TEKS. The product includes areas of some alignment to the standards, such as integer concept development; however, the product does not address the depth of the context and student actions used in the grade 6 standards. In some cases, the product includes such standards as surface area and probability, which are not introduced in the TEKS until later grades. This misalignment of readiness standards, supporting standards, rigor, and process standards is seen throughout the product. 
• The program includes opportunities for students to draw on prior grade-level knowledge; however, the discrepancy between the product and the TEKS indicates that prerequisite skills have not yet been taught to the students.

Summary

Texas Math powered by Kiddom is a 9–12 mathematics program with a problem-based curriculum. The Algebra 1 curriculum provides comprehensive units that include a variety of instructional routines, activities, and instructional supports where teachers and students are actively involved in the teaching and learning mathematics. Additionally, the program includes resources for formative and summative assessments, extension activities, and family support material for each unit.

Campus and district instructional leaders should consider the following:

• While lessons in the product feature a standard design that includes a warm-up, activities, and cool-down to engage students' prior knowledge and connect to real-world contexts, in many places, the lessons are not robust enough to meet TEKS standards and do not intentionally guide teachers to connect the mathematics process standards with content standards. Materials include lessons/units beyond Algebra 1 content and are missing lessons/units to cover Algebra 1 TEKS fully.
• The program includes materials that support emergent bilingual students and students with disabilities. However, the instructional guidance does not cover support for all learners, such as those with deficiencies in prior knowledge. While materials include a variety of questions for teachers to assess student learning, there needs to be more questioning that would guide teachers to scaffold activities for learners who may have gaps in their prior knowledge. Novice teachers may require additional support and guidance to assist learners in moving from a concrete to a more abstract understanding of mathematics.

Summary

Texas Math powered by Kiddom is a 9–12 Mathematics program designed to support high school students in mastering Algebra. This program demonstrates several characteristics of high-quality instructional materials. Kiddom's Algebra Supports curriculum aligns with current educational standards, integrates digital-first strategies, and provides scaffolding for students and teachers. 

Campus and district instructional leaders should consider the following:

• The program excels in promoting mathematical discourse, offering teachers embedded guidance to foster discussions where students share their reasoning, reflect on problem-solving strategies, and engage in mathematical conversations. Kiddom's interactive digital platform encourages student engagement through various multimedia resources and dynamic learning tasks. The program also offers self-checks, during which students can get immediate feedback on correct and incorrect answers.
• The materials lack a strong emphasis on building automaticity—students' ability to recall key facts and procedures quickly, which could hinder their fluency in more complex tasks. The materials also do not consistently provide in-depth practice opportunities, particularly for students needing more rigorous challenges or those ready to advance their skills. These areas present an opportunity for further growth to enhance the program's effectiveness.
