HMH Florida’s B.E.S.T. Into Algebra 1

HMH Into Algebra 1 is built from the ground up for Florida and provides 100% coverage of B.E.S.T. standards, including the Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning (MTR) standards. Standards are embedded, color-coded, and searchable at the point of use, helping teachers plan, teach, and assess with confidence.

The program includes standards-aligned assessments, EOC practice tests, and ongoing progress monitoring tools that mirror Florida’s assessment expectations. With diagnostics, benchmark tests, and actionable reporting, teachers can track mastery and intervene early to improve student outcomes on FAST and Algebra 1 EOC exams. 

Lessons emphasize problem-solving, real-world modeling, and productive struggle, helping students develop deep conceptual understanding. Students engage in collaborative tasks, multiple representations, and mathematical discourse aligned to MTR standards, ensuring rigor and real-world application. 

Into Algebra 1 provides a comprehensive MTSS framework with built-in diagnostics, targeted intervention, and enrichment resources. Teachers receive data-driven grouping recommendations, reteach and challenge materials, and adaptive tools to meet the needs of all learners within Tier 1 instruction and beyond. 

The program integrates with Math 180 Flex, offering adaptive intervention for students performing below grade level. Students receive personalized learning pathways, real-time feedback, and scaffolded instruction, helping them accelerate toward Algebra 1 success without leaving core instruction. 

HMH Into Algebra 1 includes embedded multilingual supports in every lesson, such as Spanish/English glossaries, translated resources, language routines, and family communication tools in multiple languages. These supports align with FLDOE guidance to ensure English learners engage in grade-level mathematics and academic discourse. 

The program provides robust, real-time data dashboards, including standards mastery reports, item analysis, grouping recommendations, and growth tracking through HMH Growth Measure. These tools enable administrators and teachers to make data-driven decisions aligned to district and state goals. 

Students engage in performance tasks, STEM projects, and real-world modeling activities that connect Algebra 1 concepts to careers and everyday problem-solving. These experiences build college and career readiness while reinforcing critical thinking and application skills. 

Delivered on the HMH Ed™ platform, the program includes curriculum-connected AI tools for generating practice activities, assessments, presentations, and translations. These tools help teachers save time, differentiate instruction, and personalize learning for students.

HMH offers ongoing, job-embedded professional learning, including on-demand courses, live coaching, and guided learning pathways. Educators receive classroom-ready strategies and year-round coaching support to ensure successful program implementation and improved student outcomes.
