Built for Indiana

By listening to Indiana educators’ feedback, we have taken Ready Indiana Mathematics and developed Ready Indiana Mathematics, 2nd Edition. The program is 100% fully aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics.

Aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics

Strong standards-based approach: Ready Indiana Mathematics, 2nd Edition is 100 percent fully aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics. With no extraneous content, you will see a focus on the Indiana Standards with the sequence and pacing of the lessons matching the Indiana scope and sequence.

Pacing Guidance (Grade 4)

Coherence across Grades for Vertical Articulation

Significant connections between the standards across grade levels: Ready Indiana Mathematics, 2nd Edition lessons build on prior knowledge, making connections within and across all strands and across all grade levels, allowing educators to facilitate cross–grade-level discussions and make the best instructional decisions.

Lesson Progressions, at the beginning of every unit in the Teacher Resource Book, allow teachers to see at a glance how the lesson connects to previous and future learning.

Incorporates Indiana Process Standards for Mathematics

Fully integrated throughout each lesson: Within the Think–Share–Compare instructional routine, teachers can easily and confidently engage students in discourse and the Process Standards while using standards-aligned teaching practices.

Process Standards in the Think–Share–Compare Instructional Routine

Think

Make sense of the problem and persevere in solving them. (PS.1)
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (PS.2)
Model with mathematics. (PS.4)
Use appropriate tools strategically. (PS.5)
Attend to precision. (PS.6)

Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (PS.2)
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. (PS.3)
Attend to precision. (PS.6)
Look for and make use of structure. (PS.7)
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. (PS.8)

Compare

Reason abstractly and quantitatively. (PS.2)
Model with mathematics. (PS.4)
Use appropriate tools strategically. (PS.5)

The Teacher Resource Book includes Process Standard (PS) Tips that provide more in-depth information for select Process Standards addressed in the lessons.

Delivering the Demands of the Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics

The Indiana Academic Standards for Mathematics demand instruction that balances conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application. Ready Indiana Mathematics, 2nd Edition achieves this balance with lessons that develop understanding and procedural fluency in tandem so students can easily apply what they have learned to new situations.

Understand Lessons focus on developing conceptual understanding at critical points in instruction.

Skills and Strategy Lessons focus on helping students make connections to acquire and apply efficient procedures through multiple representations.

Math in Action Lessons (Grades 2–5) feature open-ended problems with many points of entry and more than one possible solution.

1. IAS Focus sets expectations for what students should understand and be able to do, according to the standards.

2. Lesson Objectives identify the mathematical goals for the lesson, while Language Objectives identify how students demonstrate their understanding of those goals.

3. Prerequisite Skills can be used to monitor the understanding of students at different levels and to scaffold instruction for small group discussions.

4. Learning Progressions set a context for the standards of the lesson based on how the standards build on prior knowledge and how they lead to expectations for the next year.

5. Multiday lessons allow students time to develop skills and a deeper understanding of concepts. Each lesson provides about a week’s worth of instruction.
