IM Certified™ Professional Learning

Illustrative Mathematics has created research-backed, standards-aligned K–12 mathematics curricula since its founding in 2011. Thoughtfully designed and expert-authored, IM’s comprehensive suite of math curricula is designed to encourage inclusive, engaging mathematical discussions supported by tasks, lesson plans, professional learning, and community.

IM v.360 is a cohesive, problem-based core curriculum built on the principle that all students are capable learners of grade-level mathematics. Students are encouraged to use their current understanding of math, their lived experiences, and the world around them as resources for problem solving. By starting with what students already know, teachers invite all students to contribute to mathematical learning, center their students’ thinking, and respond as students develop conceptual understanding.

Just like previous IM^® K–12 Math versions, IM v.360:

• provides a consistent problem-based lesson structure, ensuring coherence within and across all grade levels
• includes thoughtfully designed instructional routines that promote interaction, inviting all students to engage in every lesson
• offers specialized guidance and support to help teachers facilitate learning for multilingual language learners  and students with disabilities
• includes math language routines (MLRs), which aid in language development and increase access for multilingual language learners

We are proud to be a certified partner of Illustrative Mathematics (IM) professional learning. IM Certified professional learning includes a full suite of offerings tailored to complement the IM curriculum and build educator capacity to implement the materials with fidelity. Our team of IM Certified Facilitators are ready to support you onsite or online as you implement the IM curriculum.

IM^® v.360, released in 2024, is IM’s most comprehensive curriculum upgrade to date. Building on the foundation of previous IM® Math versions, IM v.360 maintains the core tenets of IM problem-based instruction and features while incorporating new additions and enhancements based on feedback from teachers, school leaders, and students. IM v.360 empowers teachers to ensure that every child learns grade-level mathematics and develops a positive mathematical identity through engaging learning experiences.

All IM Certified^® math curricula are research-driven and fully aligned to college and career-ready standards to ensure teachers have the tools needed to facilitate student success
