Cutler Elementary gave growth a significant boost using Next Gen Math and a standards-aligned strategy.
How Does Countdown to CAASPP Accelerate Student Success?
1. Aligns Instruction to Standards
In order to prepare every student to succeed on the CAASPP, you first need to understand what the state assessment measures, how it's structured, and what you should prioritize out of countless possibilities.
Our training and platform connect the dots between the SBAC Blueprint, the California Mathematics Framework, and the Common Core State Standards for Math. We map out how claims, domains, targets, and question stems relate to curriculum, assessment and instruction.
2. Efficiently Assesses Student Readiness
NGM goes far beyond mainstream diagnostics and assessments: educators can access results for any student work completed by claim, target, standards and question stem.
Detailed insights allows for better analysis of learning gaps and where students need support.
3. Targets Individual Student Learning Gaps
Use yourstandards-aligned, student-specific data to generate reteaching and intervention activities targeting individual learning gaps, right in Next Gen Math.
Teachers are in full control and can match activities to their desired instructional approach - asynchronous, individual, small group, whole group, etc.
Teachers can meet every student where they are, including those performing below, at and above grade level.
4. Embeds Test Prep into Existing Activities
Preparing for the state assessment shouldn't be an additional burden on teachers. Instead, use NGM for math activities you already do!
You'll get the standards-aligned data, familiarize students with the test environment, and save time.
The Countdown to CAASPP program will help you pace and calibrate your review and make sure you address every major standard.
5. Prepares Students for Test Environments
NGM assignments include a robust digital interface, keypad, rigorous and varied question types for every standard, eliminating mistakes due to unfamiliar tech mechanics.
Teachers can provide effective practice of all question stems at the rigor of the Common Core State Standards and ensure studentsfamiliarize themselves with academic language, as part of regular class time.
6. Support All Your Learners
Support dual immersion and ELL students with embedded Spanish translation localized to Mexico, offering greater alignment to the Spanish spoken within our schools and districts than Google Translate.
NGM ensures students with IEPs get the accommodations they need such as text-to-speech, extended time, adjustable font sizes, and/or visual aids. Using NGM regularly for assignments also increases students' ability to demonstrate their knowledge effectively on state tests.
Why Wait? Spark Impressive Math Growth Now.
Next Gen Math will provide the Countdown to CAASPP program free of charge to a maximum of 80 schools during the 2025-26 school year, so make sure you register as soon as possible.
The NextGenMath.com platform (NGM) is a comprehensive supplemental resource designed to provide targeted interventions and unlimited practice on standards-based content. The platform is fully aligned to State Assessment Blueprints and State Math Frameworks, and ensures that students practice skills and concepts that match the rigor of state assessments.
The platform is organized by claims, domains, targets, and standards - in alignment with the Blueprints and State Math Frameworks-and utilizes a variety of question stems to expose students to different ways in which each standard may be assessed.
NGM offers educators the data they need to assess academic performance in real time and pinpoint where students need support, as well as the tools they need to create real time standards-aligned, data-driven interventions, practice assignments or reteaching activities.
Schools that use NGM as part of their regular activities such as question of the day, exit tickets, homework, retakes, etc. see all student learning accelerate, leading to upward band movement (from not met to nearly met to met to exceeded) and significant increases in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade level math standards.
