This research paper presents Edmentum’s approach to developing essential middle school math and literacy skills in Exact Path, emphasizing their role in preparing students for success in Algebra I, English 9, and high school coursework.

• Math: read about a structured approach to math instruction that builds algebra readiness by systematically developing foundational skills, proportional reasoning, and fluency in rational numbers.
• Reading: grounded in the Science of Reading, unpack a research-backed approach that strengthens vocabulary, comprehension, and text analysis to prepare students for high school literacy demands.

Together, this research-backed progression of skills is designed to address learning gaps and promote long-term success for middle school students as they prepare for high school, particularly Algebra 1 and English 9.
