Textbook Correlations – ST Math Help

To support teachers in using ST Math as an instructional tool, textbook correlations have been developed.

These are not designed to replace the grade level Journey which has been designed to support students' development of a strong mathematical schema. (Learn more in this document about the Curriculum Design Principles of ST Math.) Because students move through ST Math at their own pace, students who need more time with a concept might fall behind the order of Objectives based on the textbook and not be ready to move on when the class math lessons do.

With that in mind, the correlation documents provide teachers with the opportunity to do the following:

Assign students to play specific objectives that support current instruction, provide intervention on prior instruction, or give students a preview of content prior to beginning a new unit.
Engage students in mathematical discussions around specific games in a whole group or small group setting that align to the content being currently taught.
Identify a Math Chat or Puzzle Talk that can be used to launch a unit or lesson or teach intervention content.
Identify ST Math Objectives that are correlated to specific units in the textbook. Use the Assignments feature to assign these objectives to students who are struggling during or after the unit.
