MATH CURRICULUM

HMH math programs support high-quality math instruction by combining rigorous, standards-aligned content with research-based practices that promote conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, problem solving, and mathematical discourse. Lessons engage students in active learning through meaningful tasks, discussion, collaboration, and ongoing assessment, while providing teachers with clear guidance and embedded supports. This approach helps teachers deliver consistent, effective instruction that meets the needs of diverse learners. 

HMH math solutions work together by connecting curriculum, assessment, intervention, personalized practice, professional learning, and digital tools. HMH offers several core mathematics curriculum options for elementary and middle school grades, including Into Math, Go Math!, and Math in Focus, each with a distinct instructional approach. For secondary mathematics, Into AGA provides comprehensive instruction in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Math 180 and Math 180 Flex provide targeted intervention, while Waggle extends learning through adaptive practice, and NWEA MAP Growth provides assessment data to inform instruction. Teachers can access lessons, student data, reporting, and instructional resources in one place, enabling them to make informed decisions about teaching and learning. This integrated approach helps streamline classroom workflows while providing targeted support for every student. 

HMH math programs build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency through learning experiences that begin with reasoning, exploration, and problem solving before progressing to efficient and accurate application of procedures. Students engage with visual models, real-world contexts, mathematical representations, guided instruction, and practice opportunities that strengthen both understanding and skill development. By connecting concepts and procedures, students develop flexible mathematical knowledge they can apply in new situations. 

HMH math programs develop mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills by engaging students in rich tasks that require them to analyze situations, make decisions, test strategies, and justify their thinking. Lessons give students opportunities to solve real-world and mathematical problems, explain their reasoning, and evaluate multiple solution paths. These experiences help students build perseverance, strategic thinking, and confidence as problem solvers. 

HMH math programs use mathematical discourse and collaboration as essential parts of instruction, giving students regular opportunities to discuss ideas, explain reasoning, ask questions, and learn from one another. Structured routines, discussion prompts, collaborative tasks, and writing opportunities help students communicate mathematical thinking while deepening their understanding of concepts and vocabulary. This emphasis on communication supports both mathematical learning and language development. 

HMH math programs use manipulatives and visual models to help students represent mathematical ideas, explore relationships, and connect concrete experiences with abstract concepts. Students engage with physical and digital tools, drawings, diagrams, and other visual representations as they solve problems and explain their thinking. These multiple representations help students develop a deeper understanding and gain access to grade-level mathematics. 

HMH math programs support differentiated instruction by providing flexible teaching resources, data from embedded assessments, and targeted instructional options that help teachers respond to students’ individual learning needs. Teachers can use formative and summative data to create flexible groups, provide additional support, offer enrichment opportunities, and adjust instruction as needed. Waggle extends differentiation through adaptive math practice that responds to students’ skill levels and learning needs. These flexible instructional options allow all students to engage with rigorous mathematics while receiving appropriate levels of challenge and support. 

HMH math solutions support students who need intervention through a multi-tiered approach that includes embedded support within core instruction and dedicated intervention programs. Core math programs provide differentiation, targeted resources, ongoing assessment, and small-group instruction to help teachers address unfinished learning while keeping students connected to grade-level mathematics. For students in Grades 3–12 who need more intensive support, Math 180 provides dedicated, teacher-led intervention focused on foundational skills and algebra readiness, while Math 180 Flex helps teachers deliver targeted intervention within the core classroom. This combination enables educators to meet a wide range of student needs and accelerate growth in mathematics. 

HMH math solutions support multilingual learners by embedding language development into math instruction through structured discussion routines, academic vocabulary support, visual scaffolds, and differentiated language resources. Students have opportunities to listen, speak, read, and write about mathematical ideas while deepening their understanding and building language proficiency. Additional multilingual resources and home-language supports help increase access to instruction and strengthen family engagement. 

HMH math programs include a balanced system of diagnostic, formative, benchmark, and summative assessments that provide actionable information throughout the year. Embedded checks for understanding, classroom assessments, and digital reporting tools help teachers monitor progress, identify learning needs, and adjust instruction based on student performance. NWEA MAP Growth provides benchmark assessment data to measure student achievement and growth over time. These tools support timely instructional decisions and allow teachers to track growth toward learning goals. 

HMH digital and AI tools support math instruction by bringing lesson delivery, student data, reporting, and personalized learning resources together for teachers. HMH Ed connects curriculum, assessment, and instructional resources on one platform. HMH AI Tools help teachers create teaching resources, adapt content, generate practice opportunities, and provide additional scaffolds while maintaining alignment to instructional goals. Waggle uses a skill-based AI engine to deliver adaptive math practice based on student needs. Together, these tools help teachers save time and personalize learning experiences for students. 

HMH provides professional learning and implementation support for its math programs through onboarding, instructional resources, and ongoing learning opportunities for teachers and leaders. Included resources such as Getting Started, Teacher Success Pathways, and Teacher’s Corner help educators build confidence and develop the skills to plan, teach, assess learning, and use data effectively from day one and throughout the school year. Ongoing support through program-aligned courses and HMH Coachly, which provides yearlong, personalized 1:1 instructional coaching, helps teachers deepen program knowledge and apply practical strategies in their classrooms. Together, these resources help schools build instructional capacity and maximize the effectiveness of their math programs.
