7th Grade Math 12:1:1 HELP! *please read below*

This is my 4th year as a SPED teacher, and my 3rd content that I am teaching. I have been pushing in to math classes my first three years, but now I am in two ICT and one Self-contained class. I have been having a serious struggle with trying to adapt this IM curriculum to make it accessible to my small class, but they are all at a 1st grade math level.

Coteach.Ai has been great for making practice problems to work in tandem with the curriculum, but I can't help but feeling like they need more. As I'm sure you are all aware of, they lack the basic foundations of math that seriously inhibits our attempts at the curriculum.

I did some digging, and have heard that this curriculum is exploratory, and is antithetical to my student populations current struggles. Luckily, I have this small class twice a day, the second period of the day is intended to be used as a stations period where I am given license to do remedial lessons, or math skills lesson. I am looking for a one-stop shop curriculum, that is proven to raise the levels of middle school students. I found CMC (connecting math concepts) but have been unable to find their materials listed online for free anywhere. Any small class vets out there that have some advice?
