Advance Student Success Through Research-Driven Math Instruction
Join a national study and see how Imagine IM strengthens mathematics instruction.
What Is Imagine IM?
Imagine IM is the premier Illustrative Mathematics v.360 program from Imagine Learning. It offers the most up-to-date IM-certified curriculum and content, optimized for engagement, accessibility, and usability, including exclusive tools and resources that enhance the classroom experience for teachers and students.
As an IM-Certified partner, Imagine Learning honors the rigorous learning progressions developed across and between grade levels. Imagine IM also aligns with the definition of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) ensuring coherence, rigor, and equitable access for all learners.
Why Partner with Imagine Learning for This Research
Imagine Learning invites school districts to participate in a national study evaluating the impact of Imagine IM on student mathematics achievement. The findings will help your district — and schools nationwide — make data-driven decisions that improve student outcomes. As a research partner, your district will receive:
Access to Imagine IM
Half of the participating classrooms will implement Imagine IM, while the remaining classrooms continue with their current instructional practices.*
Meaningful data to drive change
Receive detailed reports comparing outcomes for Imagine IM and non-Imagine IM students, giving your team powerful evidence to guide future curricular decisions.
A national impact
Contribute to research with the potential to transform education nationwide and support best practices in math instruction.
*Access to Imagine IM may expand after the study concludes.
Why Comparative Research Matters
Comparative studies — those that include both participating and non-participating groups — provide the most reliable evidence of a program’s effectiveness. This approach ensures that results are valid, meaningful, and can drive lasting improvements in education. Key benefits of this research design include:
Fair and reliable results
Including a comparison group enables researchers to measure Imagine IM’s impact accurately, ensuring that findings are scientifically sound and reflective of student growth.
Opportunity for future program expansion
Imagine IM access may be expanded to additional students after the study concludes, allowing your district to implement the service with greater experience and confidence.
Continued support for all students
Even students who do not receive Imagine IM during the study will continue to benefit from their school’s existing supports and high-quality instruction.
Is Your District a Good Fit?
Districts that are a strong fit for this research study typically:
- Serve medium-to-large student populations across multiple schools or grade levels
- Can implement Imagine IM consistently with selected groups of students by following recommended practices
- Administer standardized assessments in math at least twice during the school year (fall and spring)
