The Coherence Map can help identify gaps in student knowledge, illustrate

how supporting and additional cluster standards connect with the Major

Work of the Grade, and provide direction for educators looking to design

more coherent math instruction for their students.

The tool is a dynamic version of Jason Zimba's Wiring Diagram. Now

educators can easily search for a particular grade-level standard and

instantly see how it connects to other standards within and across

grades. Additional resources for each standard support deeper

understanding by offering materials like exemplar student tasks or

assessments, the language of the Math Progressions, and the Focus

documents.
