Envision Common Core

This year my school has adopted the new Envision Common Core math program. Although it has been an adjustment for all parties, I am really enjoying the program and adjusting all the changes it has brought to our math program.  There are 2 third grade classrooms in my school and we have been using the pre-tests and grouping students on their knowledge of each topic.  This is a practice that is the norm at my school in the past, but grouping was not as flexable.
One thing that I am finding in teaching the new curriculum is that my higher students need more to do during class. 
I have created a series of centers that support topic 2 for our math program that I wanted to share.

  2. We are looking at different math publishers for next year. What are the pros and cons to envision?
    Thanks for any input you can send my way.

    1. I really like Envision, I pushed for it. In my school we had Singapore math before this and for the high students it was great because they were able to move between grade levels. Now our struggle is challenging our high students. The curriculum is great for the lower and middle students.
