1. Description of the curriculum
Title: i-Ready Classroom Mathematics
Creator: Curriculum Associates
Content Area: Math
Grade: 2nd
Goals: The overall goals of i-Ready are to build conceptual understanding and procedural
fluency in students. The curriculum strives to build a solid foundation for success, foster a
student-centered classroom, and turn data into action. By seamlessly connecting deep student
insights from the i-Ready Diagnostic with engaging, evidence-based instruction, i-Ready ensures
each learner receives support where and when it is needed most. It provides differentiated digital
mathematics instruction with thoughtful adaptivity, driving efficient gains across critical skill
areas. Rooted in pedagogical best practices that keep every learner in mind, i-Ready supports
meaningful growth toward grade-level proficiency and beyond (Curriculum Associates, 2026).
