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.
