IM Algebra 2 is 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.
The story of Algebra 2 mathematics is told in seven units. Each unit has a narrative that describes the mathematical work that will unfold in that unit. Each lesson in the unit has a narrative. Lesson narratives explain:
- A description of the mathematical content of the lesson and its place in the learning sequence.
- The meaning of any new terms introduced in the lesson.
- How the mathematical practices come into play, as appropriate.
Activities within lessons also have a narrative, which explain:
- The mathematical purpose of the activity and its place in the learning sequence.
- What students are doing during the activity.
- What teacher needs to look for while students are working on an activity to orchestrate an effective synthesis.
- Connections to the mathematical practices when appropriate.
