Renaissance Accelerated Math is a versatile tool that is used in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms for intervention and individualized content creation. Teachers find the program valuable in assessing students and personalizing education, resulting in successful outcomes for both the classroom as a whole and individual students. The software helps teachers identify areas of weakness and mastery in learning objectives, allowing for immediate re-teaching and more effective strategies. Its flexibility enables the creation of individualized math problems and group assignments, catering to students' ability levels.
Students appreciate the immediate feedback provided by Renaissance Accelerated Math, finding it helpful for review and interventions. The program is utilized school-wide to some extent, offering practice, differentiation, and data-driven instruction. District-wide implementation allows for understanding of standards and growth monitoring through quarterly STAR tests. Within the program, teachers can provide additional practice for students with weaknesses while challenging those who show advanced skills. The satisfaction level with Accelerated Math is high, as evidenced by students performing above average in math on state tests and day-to-day work.
At various grade levels, Renaissance Accelerated Math is used to differentiate math instruction through small/large group instruction and topic-based differentiation. Teachers utilize the program to identify areas of math weakness and create individualized math practice for each student. In elementary schools across the district, the program supplements the existing curriculum by providing enrichment for quick learners and remediation for struggling students. It also aids in grouping students, tracking growth, and predicting performance on state tests.
Although available in all classrooms, not all teachers may choose to use Renaissance Accelerated Math. However, those who do find it beneficial because it allows them to control content and practice amount, providing a spiral review of math skills throughout the year. Additionally, the program offers valuable data that guides instruction and aids in the construction of intervention groups. Overall, Renaissance Accelerated Math proves to be a valuable asset in promoting personalized education and improving math outcomes for students.

- “Kids don’t care what you know until they know that you care.”
- One of the very first things I learned my first five years of teaching, except that student teaching does not really prepare you, is that it is my job to help my students succeed, not to just give them a grade. In the beginning, I taught the lesson, assigned work, administered tests, and took grades. I did that because that is how we are supposed to determine efficiency. Right? No, Wrong. I learned this the hard way and, sadly and regrettably, at the expense of my students at that time. Over time, I noticed how sometimes it took re-teaching along with small group instruction and interventions for students to understand and master the concepts. Since then, I have allowed for them to fix, re-do, and re-re-do their work, as needed.
- I focus on my interventions just as much as I do my initial teaching of the objective. Making sure that they truly understand and master the content before moving on to another objective helps me just as much as it helps them. It saves me from continually re-teaching. Slow and steady does win the race. This approach allows me to help the student master objectives with more efficiency.
- Accelerated Math has allowed for me to individualize my instruction and interventions. I love this program. Truly! I have three types of students; above, on target, and below. This program allows for growth in each area. However, I have found the most growth in my bottom quartile. Why? I believe it is because I am able to recognize a problem or issue with a particular objective immediately. I, then, can address that issue immediately before the bad habits or wrong approach is repeated.
- This program is masked as a whole-group classroom approach, however, the most important components are found under the mask. One-on-one instruction is how I describe it to educators. My students are actively engaged in their own learning. They are also actively engaged in the learning of their peers, as well. I use a lot of peer tutoring techniques. They have access to knowing who is also working on mastering the same objective(s) they are working on plus they know who has already mastered said objective. This allows them to know who to go to for effective help. They are able to steer their own learning to a point. They can ask a peer or me. They can get on Accel math and look at the objective and see completed answers for a reference. This also boosts the confidence of their own understanding. They feel confident in having control of the path they want to use for gaining knowledge. Peer-tutoring and peer-discussions give them the opportunity to say out loud what they are thinking/feeling about a concept and rationalize their approach to evaluating said concept. As the teacher, I play various roles. I can teach, facilitate a small group, or just be an observer. A lot of times, I just ask open-ended questions to jump start their own questions.
- Accel Math has assisted my math classrooms with tremendous gains. My test scores have gone up significantly. My students have a greater sense of accomplishment since they have been given the "driver's seat" for their own learning. This makes my heart smile! ;)
- On-line practices need to be able to be re-scored by the teacher.
- Group the objectives within the standards, then the educator can decide which ones they want.
- Add more to the Accel Reader like the math has. Accel Reader is limited as [far as] using for daily teaching.

Renaissance Accelerated Math: Individualized but Dated
- AM allows teachers to individually assign math practices to every student based on their needs.
- AM is supported by STAR assessments, which give teachers their students' areas of weakness.
- Student math practices are outdated and boring for students.
- Some of the practice strands are too hard in the beginning for struggling students.

A good idea that just doesn't work
- It has plenty of practice.
- The questions are in a language students can understand.
- They are multiple-choice, so feedback is quick.
- It's way too labor-intensive for the teacher.
- If students already know how to do the problem, they haven't gained anything.
- If students don't know how to do the problem, there is no instruction or support for them.

Works great for us and we're an a school!
- Allows students to master and review various skills.
- Allows students to work above their grade level.
- Allow students to work in groups or separate on particular skills.
- I wish that the diagnostic report could show missed problems in numerical order instead of by skills.

- Quick and easy access to data reports.
- Immediate student feedback.
- Individualized instruction.
- The opportunity to work independently or in group settings on the same problems.
- The flexibility of printing assignments or providing online work.
- I'd like students to see their growth per standard that they've passed. Perhaps in the form of a visual like a collection of ribbons.

Excellence
- Identifies grouping levels
- Great progress monitoring with actual work
- Challenges the students to independent growth
- I would like to see the standards were set up in order
- I am never sure of what standards I want to include in set up
- iReady is taking over assessment, but I think we will always include AM STAR progress monitoring

- Classrooms that use Accelerated Math with fidelity have higher high-stakes math scores than other classrooms.
- Accelerated Math allows teachers to differentiate instruction with the computer doing the necessary background preparation.
- There are many resources for help in learning math concepts.
- Over the years, Renaissance has added the ability to do math lessons online. This has helped with the tons of printed papers needed to run the program sufficiently.
- Accelerated Math 2.0 has never been used in our district because it took away the 'differentiation' piece that was such a plus!
