High School Report Overview

The instructional materials reviewed for the Saxon Traditional Series do not meet expectations for alignment to the CCSSM for high school. Since the copyright for this series is 2009, these materials were created before the release of the CCSS. The instructional materials spend a majority of time on the widely applicable prerequisites from the CCSSM and engage students in mathematics at a level of sophistication appropriate to high school. However, the instructional materials partially attend to allowing students to fully learn each non-plus standard, making connections within courses and across the series, and explicitly identifying standards from Grades 6-8 and building on them to the High School Standards. Since the materials do not meet the expectations for focus and coherence, evidence for rigor and the mathematical practices in Gateway 2 was not collected.
