CHOOSE FORMAT

IM Geometry 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 Geometry is told in eight 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.

Teacher Guide Set: This purchase includes a set of 3 coil-bound guides (Units 1-2, 3-5, 6-8).

The mathematical materials for Geometry are partitioned into 8 units:

Unit 1: Constructions and Rigid Transformations

Unit 2: Congruence

Unit 3: Similarity

Unit 4: Right Triangle Trigonometry

Unit 5: Solid Geometry

Unit 6: Coordinate Geometry

Unit 7: Circles

Unit 8: Conditional Probability
