IM Algebra 1 is a 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 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 question measurement in the world around them, wondering how heavy a box of toys is, how bit the playground is, and the length of their n
