Renaissance and Innovamat Partner To Transform How Math Assessment and Core Curriculum Work Together in English and Spanish

New partnership brings Renaissance's Star Math assessment and Innovamat's Thinking Math! core curriculum together, creating instructional coherence that helps educators make faster, more confident decisions to support student growth

BLOOMINGTON, Minn., and BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Renaissance^® and Innovamat^® today announced a strategic partnership that connects K–8 mathematics core curriculum Thinking Math! with the Star Math assessment in Renaissance Intelligence, giving educators immediate access to instructional recommendations tailored to each student's learning needs.

The partnership addresses an ongoing challenge in education: the disconnect between what assessments reveal and what curricula provide. By aligning Star Math insights directly with Thinking Math! instructional scope and sequence, the integration creates greater instructional coherence. Assessment results automatically translate into specific instructional pathways within the curriculum teachers are already using, so they spend less time interpreting data and more time teaching.

Innovamat delivers evidence-based programs and hands-on support to improve math understanding, fluency, and problem-solving. Thinking Math! was built natively in English and Spanish. Every component was written in both languages, not translated. With the Star Matemáticas assessment, the partnership creates a complete bilingual pathway from assessment to instruction.

As schools nationwide adopt research-backed, high-quality instructional materials, the need for assessments and curriculum to speak the same language is critical. This partnership responds to that demand, reducing the time and effort required to connect assessment data with curriculum-aligned instructional resources.

"Assessment and curriculum should tell teachers the same story," said Isaac Sayol, Chief Product Officer at Innovamat. "Too often they don't, and teachers are left to connect the dots on their own. By linking Star Math to Thinking Math! scope and sequence, every result leads to a clear next step in the curriculum teachers already use. We're proud to join Renaissance's Core Publisher Program and bring that coherence to more districts."

Renaissance Intelligence powers this integration by connecting assessment insights directly to Thinking Math! and Renaissance resources. The Renaissance system automatically interprets Star Math results and surfaces relevant lessons and materials aligned to the curriculum, helping teachers move quickly from data to differentiated instruction. This collaboration delivers the following benefits:

Assessment data meets curriculum planning

Star Math results flow directly into Thinking Math! planning, pinpointing exactly where each student stands within the curriculum's progression and which resources match their needs.

Data becomes instructional action

Assessment scores automatically map to specific next steps within Thinking Math! scope and sequence, showing teachers not just what students know but also which curriculum components will advance their learning.

Targeted support for every learner

Teachers receive differentiated resource recommendations for individual students and small groups, efficiently addressing prerequisite skills, reinforcing concepts, or extending learning—all with aligned materials.

"Innovamat brings deep mathematical expertise to instruction," said Todd Brekhus, Chief Product Officer at Renaissance. "This partnership demonstrates the power of our Core Publisher Program to open Renaissance's ecosystem and include specialized curricula that forward-thinking districts are adopting. Educators choosing high-quality, specialized programs like Thinking Math! can now access the same powerful data integration and personalized learning support available across our ecosystem."

Together, Renaissance and Innovamat are creating a more connected learning experience, where assessment and curriculum work in harmony. By bridging data and instruction, this partnership empowers educators to make confident decisions and helps every student access the support they need to grow.
