iReady Classroom Mathematics 2024 is a program that will help your student become a strong, independent mathematical thinker. The program uses a strategic approach to math instruction; focusing on reason, problem solving, and student-to-student conversations about conceptual mastery. Students have the opportunity to tackle complex concepts, and enhance critical thinking skills about mathematics.
The program:
Encourages students to develop a deeper understanding of mathematics concepts through productive struggle.
Builds on students' prior knowledge with lessons that make connections within and across grade levels and directly address the major focus of the grade.
Incorporates a classroom mathematics routine called "Try-Discuss-Connect" that promotes conversations and increases accessibility of mathematics for all students.

What is the iReady Diagnostic for Math?
Students take the iReady diagnostic assessment for Mathematics three times a year. This assessment is not used for grading purposes but rather to help teachers to best support your child’s learning. This tool informs students, parents and teachers of academic progress by identifying areas of strength as well as opportunities for growth. While it is a very important element, the diagnostic is only one of the many ways teachers identify student growth and need. Classroom observations, conversations with students and a review of student work, as well as many other factors, work in conjunction with the iReady diagnostic results for a full picture.
Student performance on the diagnostic is also the foundation of MyPath, which is the online personalized instruction component of the iReady program. The fall diagnostic results determine where a student starts on their path so it is important that it is a true and accurate picture of their math ability right from the beginning of the year to ensure success. Please take a few moments to watch this short video which explains the purpose of the diagnostic and how to navigate the “For Families Report” will be shared with you after each testing session.
