Built for New Mexico Classrooms 

At its foundation is problem-based instruction: students begin with rich problems, discuss ideas, and uncover concepts as they go. Lessons are designed in alignment with the New Mexico Math Framework, emphasizing: 

  • Big Ideas, layered over time: Lessons revisit and deepen concepts for coherence across grades. 
  • Culturally responsive: Lessons connect to local communities, family, and culture. 
  • Whole math community support: Tools for teachers, students, and families working together. 
  • Multilingual family resources: Videos and guides extend learning at home. 
  • Spanish materials: Equitable access in print and digital at every grade.
