Pedagogy & Features for
McGraw Hill My Math
Made for Student Success
Built around the Standards for Mathematical Practices, McGraw Hill My Math engages students with the focus, coherence and rigor required by state standards. The program has an intuitive lesson format and digital tools to develop customized content. Digital accessibility with any device help you to plan, sequence, and deliver instruction that works best for your students anytime, anywhere.
"Aligns to the Core and requires kids to think more, talk more, and write more about learning math. It is definitely asking students to reflect and/or think more about problem-solving."

Minot Public School District, ND
The Rigor You Need
What is challenging can also be fun
McGraw Hill My Math inspires students to embrace the power of math through real-world applications, experiencing just how fun math success can be. The program interweaves the three components of rigor-conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application-enabling your students to steadily progress and grow their math confidence.

The Personalization You Need
No two students learn alike, and no two teachers teach alike
Log in to the Teacher Center and see the multiple ways you can optimize—and yes, personalize—your classroom planning, presentations, and differentiated instruction for every student.
Interactive pre-made lesson presentations can be rearranged and customized to make them your own. Digital eTools are embedded at point-of-use to allow for an interactive presentation.
Math & Literacy Connections
My Learning Stations are filled with fun, ready-made math activities, games, and Real-World Problem Solving readers, offering all learners the chance to access the text and gain appropriate understanding.
ELL Differentiation
Three levels of differentiation for English Language Learners—Emerging, Expanding, and Bridging—are at every lesson, so students thrive through immersion.

Data & Reports
Overview of Data Dashboard
Transforms insights into action
Drawing on performance data from student assessments and activities, the McGraw Hill My Math Data Dashboard:
- Enables immediate, leveled re-teaching and targeted assignments.
- Groups students automatically and recommends differentiated activities.
- Reports results at the individual, class, and district levels.
- Tracks progress in content standards.
- Informs the use of personalized learning and intervention support.
In addition to the four classroom reports, district administrators can get insight into classroom success with Data Dashboard Administrator Reports. With shared insights, teachers will spend less time crunching numbers and more time doing what they love, inspiring their students.
Recommendations Report
The Recommendations Report provides insight as to how a class or individual is doing on content standards, allowing teachers to easily plan and assign differentiated support:
- Quickly assign suggested activities to provide differentiation.
- Performance-based grouping shows which students are approaching, on, or beyond grade level on specific standards.
- Color-coded summary of student and class performance at the standard level helps teachers identify differentiation opportunities.
In addition to the four classroom reports, district administrators can get insight into classroom success with Data Dashboard Administrator Reports.
Activity Report
The Activity Report shows student and class performance on activities like practice opportunities, homework, and chapter tests:
- Access an analysis by activity or grade level standard and see the average score for a class or student.
- Know just what to teach. Drill down on any activity to view an item analysis report that shows how students scored on individual items and compare them with other students in the class.
Skills Report
The Skills Report provides teachers with a big-picture look at the standards assessed in McGraw Hill My Math:
- Monitor class or indiividual progress toward learning goals at a class or student level.
- Plan future instruction by identifying skills and standards that may require targeted support.
Progress Report
The Progress Report provides a view of scores over time on activities that contain selected skills or standards:
- Visualize and gain a complete picture of class or individual progress towards grade-level learning goals.
- Communicate progress and learning goals when conferencing with students, families, or administrators.
Research & Success
Understanding By Design
McGraw Hill My Math and Glencoe Math were created by the PreK–8 authorship team using Understanding by Design® an instructional design approach to learning that identifies the desired outcome first and then tailors learning strategies to meet the identified objective.
This framework is the perfect foundation for the Standards, resulting in a curriculum that provides conceptual understanding, key areas of focus and connection to prior concepts and skills.
