How it Works
A focus on the particular language needs of EL students in grades 3-9.

Ellevation Math serves as a supplemental teaching tool for academic vocabulary in the context of mathematical concepts so that students show up to class ready to understand instruction and participate in discussion. When students are authentically and equitably able to engage in skill-building and rigorous class discussions, they are more likely to reach benchmarks, excel on assessments, and get further in their math learning, unlocking access to greater educational and career opportunities.

Front-loading without Overloading
Ellevation Math is a collection of Primers, or lessons, that ELs complete before math class in order to learn the math vocabulary through exposure to the content. They can also be used to review math vocabulary and concepts for students who need extra support in developing the language required for math instruction and assessments.

EL Specific Supports Included
Unlike other solutions in the marketplace, Ellevation has the expertise to deliver a set of supports uniquely tailored to the needs of every English Learner in your classroom. As students complete a Primer, they will find helpful supports like visual anchors, a dictionary with accessible definitions, printable reference sheets, adjustable read alouds, and more.

Age-Appropriate with Real World Examples and Vocabulary in Context
With content and art that are appropriate for adolescent EL, Primers build on what students already know, and use stories that relate to students’ lives and experiences. They also provide models of where math is used in varied careers and contexts to provide windows into relevant applications of math in the real world. The vocabulary appears in context within these scenarios, not just as lists of words.

Confidence Questions
Each Primer includes a Confidence Question that prompts students to use the academic language functions needed for rich math discourse: inform, explain, and argue. This encourages students to use newly-learned academic language to demonstrate understanding.

Your Scope and Sequence
Date-based Primer assignments provide enhanced flexibility by allowing educators to assign different Primers to different students. Regardless of your state’s standards, the Primer Library allows you to search for and find the most relevant Primer for your lesson.

Standards Alignment
Aligned to your state standards.

Ellevation Math adjusts to the scope and sequence of any digital or print math curriculum and brings rich language supports and routines to your current math programs and textbooks. Our experts studied the standards, examined released items from state assessments and researched the vocabulary that students will need to access lessons based on those standards, including words ELs may need additional exposure to as background.

Assessment and Reporting
Key insights into student progress.

Within Ellevation Math, students will engage in a variety of formative assessments that help teachers visualize student progress and enable them to best adapt their teaching to meet instructional goals and areas of need. Teachers have access to usage, results from Confidence questions, and the formative assessments, allowing teachers to see which students might need further support and plan which words or concepts need to be retaught or discussed in class.

Classroom Integration
The flexibility to meet a variety of classroom needs.

Ellevation Math provides teachers with features that easily adapt to support a range of classroom schedules, styles, and needs. Teachers can manage student accounts, create groups and assign Primers to reach instructional goals. Because they can customize the experience for their class, teachers feel confident that all students will gain the knowledge they need to access math content.
