M 6–8 Math is a problem-based core curriculum rooted in content and practice standards to foster learning and achievement for all. Students learn by doing math, solving problems in mathematical and real-world contexts, and constructing arguments using precise language. Teachers can shift their instruction and facilitate student learning with high-leverage routines that guide them in understanding and making connections between concepts and procedures.

IM 6–8 Math lessons are designed with a focus on independent, group, and whole-class instruction. This format builds mathematical understanding and fluency for all students. Teachers will also use Warm-ups and Cool-downs to help guide lesson pacing and planning.

IM 6–8 Math, focuses on supporting teachers in the use of research-based instructional routines to successfully facilitate student learning. IM 6-8 Math, authored by Illustrative Mathematics, is highly rated by EdReports for meeting all expectations across all three review gateways. EdReports is an independent nonprofit that reviews K–12 instructional materials for focus, coherence, rigor, mathematical practices, and usability. Read the full analysis here.

IM Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 are problem-based core curricula rooted in content and practice standards to foster learning and achievement for all. Students learn by doing math, solving problems in mathematical and real-world contexts, and constructing arguments using precise language. Teachers can shift their instruction and facilitate student learning with high-leverage routines that guide them in understanding and making connections between concepts and procedures.

IM 9-12 Math, authored by Illustrative Mathematics, is highly rated by EdReports for meeting all expectations across all three review gateways.

Students who struggle in Algebra 1 are more likely to struggle in subsequent math courses and experience more adverse outcomes. The Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials are designed to help students who need additional support in their Algebra 1 course. Each Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson is associated with a lesson in the Algebra 1 course. The intention is that students experience each Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson before its associated Algebra 1 lesson. The Algebra 1 Extra Support Materials lesson helps students learn or remember a skill or concept that is needed to access and find success with the associated Algebra 1 lesson.

A comprehensive, standards-aligned, two-course curriculum designed to provide an effective accelerated pathway to Algebra 1.

IM 6–8 Math Accelerated, a compressed version of IM 6–8 Math™ 3.1415, is a thoughtful alternative to conventional accelerated programs because its design eliminates the possibility for unfinished learning as students arrive at Algebra 1. It includes all of the standards in IM 6–8 Math and compacts them into a two-year curriculum meant to be covered during the 6th and 7th grades. The pace is faster than IM 6-8 Math, but no crucial mathematical concepts are missed.

Only IM Certified curriculum is guaranteed to include the rigor, structure, and coherence as developed by our authors. Exclusively available from our IM Certified™ Partners, IM 6–8 Math Accelerated enables deep student learning through a carefully crafted scope and sequence that maintains a balance of conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and meaningful applications. The IM authors made use of efficiencies in the standards to combine units from IM 6–8 Math and relocated or combined concepts as needed to maintain a thoughtful progression through the standards.

IM K–5 Math is a problem-based core curriculum rooted in content and practice standards to foster learning and achievement for all. Students learn by doing math through solving problems, developing conceptual understanding, and discussing and defending their reasoning. Teachers build confidence with lessons and curriculum guides that help them facilitate learning and help students make connections between concepts and procedures.

Every activity and lesson in IM K–5 Math tells a coherent mathematical story across units and grade levels based on both the standards and research-based learning trajectories. This allows students the opportunity to view mathematics as a connected set of ideas and offers them access to mathematics when developed into the overarching design structure of the curriculum.

The first unit in each grade level provides lesson structures which establish a mathematical community and invite students into the mathematics with accessible content. Each lesson offers opportunities for the teacher and students to learn more about one another, develop mathematical language, and become increasingly familiar with the curriculum routines. The use of authentic contexts and adaptations provides students opportunities to bring their own experiences to the lesson activities and see themselves in the materials and mathematics.
