"We are thrilled and proud to see Imagine IM K–8 recognized with EdReports' top ratings across all grade levels," said Kinsey Rawe, Executive Vice President & Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning. "Our team is committed to building coherent, rigorous, and accessible math experiences for every learner. To have that work affirmed by a trusted, educator-led review is deeply rewarding."

Built on the acclaimed IM Math v.360 from Illustrative Mathematics® and optimized by Imagine Learning, Imagine IM K–8 emphasizes a problem-based learning approach that develops both conceptual understanding and procedural fluency, while offering multiple opportunities for students to apply that knowledge to solve real-world problems.

The program includes robust supports to make math accessible and engaging for all students, including multilingual learners and those with diverse needs. Educators benefit from embedded instructional guidance and a flexible blend of digital and print resources, making implementation easy across classroom settings. This combination of rigor, accessibility, and teacher usability has driven strong results — and now earns affirmation from EdReports' rigorous review.

EdReports' Three Gateways:

EdReports evaluates instructional materials in three key areas:

  • Gateway 1: Focus & Coherence — Materials prioritize content that matters most for each grade and connect concepts across grades.
  • Gateway 2: Rigor & Mathematical Practices — Materials foster a balance of rigor and fully embed the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
  • Gateway 3: Usability — Materials are well-designed and support effective use by teachers and students.

This recognition comes at a pivotal time. As states and districts plan for upcoming math adoptions and prioritize high-quality instructional materials, EdReports evaluations are central to curriculum decisions. Imagine IM's all-green rating confirms its alignment to today's instructional priorities and educator expectations — placing it among the top tier of math programs reviewed.
