PROGRAM FEATURES


IM® K–5 Math is a coherent, standards-aligned, and problem-based elementary curriculum uniquely focused on:

  • conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application
    Instructional routines, representations, and math tools are carefully planned to help students develop and understand mathematical concepts and procedures.
  • grade-level progressions and research-based learning trajectories
    Every routine, activity, and lesson has a place in the mathematical story across units and grade levels based on standards and learning trajectories.
  • formative assessments with clear pathways to address student outcomes
    Innovative staged centers, cool-downs, monitoring sheets, and section quizzes equip teachers to easily monitor and guide student progress.
  • embedded teacher learning that builds confidence in practice
    Teacher reflection questions, embedded curriculum narratives, and a PLC framework continually support teacher learning.
  • extensive curriculum-aligned professional learning
    Teachers feel confident and ready to implement the curriculum with integrated professional learning that supports teachers to develop, refine, and reflect on instructional practices.

 

Additions and updates have been made to meet the needs for K–5 math teachers and students, including:

  • Lesson plans designed to a longer class period (60 minutes vs 45 minutes)
  • interactive grade-level, aligned center activities to support instruction
  • reflective opportunities for teachers after each lesson and for students with journal writing prompts
  • supportive activities for planning professional learning community (PLC) to highlight important math ideas and address implementation complexities
  • embedded directions for building a mathematical community to foster students to express their mathematical ideas
  • ongoing formative assessment support including a monitoring sheet
