IMKH California, an IM® v.360 math curriculum, is problem-based and builds strong classroom math communities. It gives students a clear progression of concepts and helps teachers deepen their understanding of math and student thinking.
The curriculum encourages collaboration and meaningful mathematical conversations, highlighting Big Ideas, Major Concepts, and Mathematical Practices, while integrating Environmental Principles & Concepts and supports for MLL, ELD, and EL students.
In this unit on measurement, students actively engage in the measurement process to connect their learning and new knowledge to their own personal worlds. As mathematicians, they measure objects in the classroom, at home, and even their own bodies. They make estimates, develop personal benchmarks, and focus on the accuracy and precision of measurement. They examine irregular shapes and develop strategies to find their areas and perimeters, as well as explore liquid volume and capacity.

Explore the meaning of freedom in this story set in the late 1700s through the eyes of Sarah Bishop. Sarah Bishop tells the story of a young girl who is caught up in the conflict between Loyalist and Patriot colonists and between American and British soldiers at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Sarah is forced from her home on an adventure to find her brother and a peaceful place away from the fighting. Wanted for a crime she did not commit, Sarah learns to survive on her own, facing challenges from people and from nature and finding loyal friends along the way.
The Student Mathematician’s Journal presents simulated or real-life problems that encourage students to think, write, and read like mathematicians. They are asked to reflect on what they have learned and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students explore the measurement concepts of length, area, and capacity. Throughout the unit, students also develop mathematical communicatio
