Meet ClassMate: AI tools built for Imagine IM
ClassMate, your new teaching and learning companion, brings the power of Curriculum-Informed AI™ into Imagine IM. Built on the Illustrative Mathematics (IM®) philosophy and informed by Imagine IM’s curriculum, pacing, and instructional approach, new embedded tools support streamlined lesson preparation, personalized instruction, and deeper learning for students.
Enhancements designed for teachers
Remove everyday hassle from grading and lesson preparation with high-impact, teacher-first improvements.
QuickScore streamlines score entry across a single workflow, reducing time and clicks.
Enhanced slide editing lets teachers make in-context lesson edits without leaving the flow of instruction.
Clearer visibility into student thinking
Gain clearer insight into students’ mathematical understanding and respond faster to individual needs with integrated tools designed to make thinking visible.
CueThink provides a structured Explore-Plan-Solve-Review process that prompts students to further explain their reasoning, creating richer practice and built-in differentiation.
The Student Response Grid in LiveLearn gives teachers real-time, class-wide visibility into student responses to help surface understanding.
Modern Classrooms Project Partnership
