Approved Elementary Math Software The Utah Legislature has approved funding for the K-12 Math Digital Learning Grant for the 2021-2022 school year. Canyons School District has identified and recommended three, evidence-based programs that schools can choose to integrate into their math skill-based instruction time. The programs include: Dreambox, ST Math and iReady. In order to maintain the software licenses, schools are asked to follow recommendations for effectiveness from the USBE. These recommendations are in place to ensure students have sufficient access to see the evidence-based effects of the computer-based software. Software Program Grade Level Recommended Minutes or Lessons iReady (STEM Grant) • Developed specifically for the Common Core State Standards • Able to predict at 85% reliability how a student will do on Common Core State Standards assessments • Has a built-in assessment, grouping and lessons for skill-based instruction in math K-5 25-48 per week iReady Diagnostic Testing Date Ranges #1 - August 23 rd – September 23 rd #2 – January 3 rd – January 28 th
#3 – May 2 nd – May 25 th ST Math (STEM Grant) • Developed based on neuroscience research. Students use spatial temporal (ST) reasoning • Students manipulate visual models to solve problems with no written or oral directions • Accessible to meet the needs of English language learners and special education students Adapts to individual learners with continuous formative assessments which provideds personalize instruction • Fully aligned to Utah Core Math Standards as well as enVIsion 2020 • Detailed Dashboard reporting progress and growth on standards Dreambox •

When would the digital math program be used within the CSD math block ? The digital math programs, iReady, ST Math or Dreambox would supplement teacher instruction during skill-based instruction time of the math block. Teacher’s small group instruction should continue during SBI with software being used as one student station. The digitial math program would not take the place of whole-group instruction of the Utah Core Math Standards using the enVision 2020 curriculum.
