Program Foundations
Validated academic research serves as the foundation for explicit strategies, impactful routines, engaging activities, and purposeful facilitation questions throughout California Reveal Math. That research has additionally provided an evidence-based framework for fostering positive math identities, promoting thinking and problem-solving, and nurturing every student's inner math person.
We additionally relied on user testing and feedback from California educators to inform the creation of academically and educationally sound instructional materials.
