The elementary curriculum program

Your students will understand math concepts and apply them with fluency.

Research-based and classroom-validated.

Nexus brings together scientific evidence and more than 50,000 teacher reviews. Four main goals connect research, experience, and curriculum vision.

Strengthen the learning that grows in the classroom.

Reach everyone and make data-driven decisions.

Bring research into classrooms.

Make communication with families.

Same rigor. More clarity.

The school year is structured in 5-week blocks: 4 for building knowledge and 1 for formative assessment.

From building knowledge to consolidating learning

Each block combines building knowledge, formative assessment, and extra practice in a cycle designed to consolidate learning.

Building Knowledge

Clear goals, week by week

Clear learning goals in each block. You see the spiral progression of the content and plan what to teach, when to consolidate, and what to assess at each moment.

Number Talks

More guidance toward standard algorithms

More practice to develop mathematical judgment and arithmetic fluency.

New independent practice sessions to institutionalize algorithms and consolidate strategies.

Teacher guides with more guidance for classroom management.

Math challenges

More mathematical focus, better progression

Content grouped by domains with clear learning objectives in each challenge.

A direct connection between classwork and the logbook, with fewer illustrations and more math.

A simple structure that supports planning and leaves space for consolidation.

Three types of closure in the Challenges, each with a purpose

Atlas Math

Personalized practice to consolidate and build fluency

Activities linked to the learning progression. Students practice, develop fact fluency, and consolidate their learning.

Build fluency with basic operations through spaced repetition to develop automaticity.

Get real-time access to reports for each student, the class, and the school.

Assessment

Assess to take action

The fifth week is dedicated to formative assessment: collecting evidence, providing personalized feedback, and adjusting instruction based on each student’s needs.

Assessment and closure to consolidate the block

Block assessment: 5–6 editable activities that assess Number Talks and Challenges.

Independent practice sessions that give you space to provide personalized feedback to each student.

Formative guide with common errors and support strategies.

Extra practice

What about at home?

Resources to practice more and engage families in a way that aligns with the work done in the classroom.

Resources to practice more
