  5. CGP Math Provides a Strong Foundation for Learning • California standards explained in “kid terms” • Introductory activities provide hands-on experiences • Differentiated support built into lessons – Levels I, II, and III – to meet a range of student needs • Common student misconceptions identified throughout lessons with suggestions to teachers on how to address them
