Bellefonte Area School District utilizes a comprehensive system of instructional resources to support mathematics learning in kindergarten through grade 12. Following a two-year curriculum review process involving teachers, administrators, instructional specialists, classroom observations, resource pilots, and school visits, the district selected a new collection of mathematics resources designed to strengthen student understanding, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning.
Our mathematics program is built on the belief that all students can learn mathematics at high levels when provided with engaging tasks, meaningful discussions, and opportunities to make sense of mathematical ideas. Rather than focusing solely on memorizing procedures, students are encouraged to explore concepts, explain their thinking, make connections, and apply mathematics to real-world situations.
Each resource serves a specific purpose within our mathematics program. Please click on the hyperlinks below to learn more about each resource and access family communication materials and support resources.
Imagine IM (Grades K–8): Imagine IM serves as the district's core mathematics curriculum in kindergarten through eighth grade. The program emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving, mathematical discourse, and procedural fluency through engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences. Students regularly work through rich mathematical tasks, collaborate with peers, explain their thinking, and build deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
Pearson Mathematics (Grades 9–12): Pearson Mathematics serves as the district's core mathematics resource at the high school level. The program supports students as they engage with increasingly advanced mathematical concepts while developing problem-solving skills, mathematical reasoning, and real-world application of mathematics.
Imagine Math Facts (Grades 1–5): Imagine Facts is a supplemental resource that helps students develop fluency with basic math facts. Through personalized practice and engaging activities, students strengthen their automatic recall of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts, allowing them to devote more cognitive energy to solving complex mathematical problems.
Imagine Math (Grades 3–5): Imagine Math is a supplemental digital learning resource used to provide additional support and enrichment opportunities for students. The program offers personalized pathways that reinforce grade-level concepts, provide targeted practice, and help teachers address individual student needs.
Get More Math (Grades 6–Algebra I): Get More Math is a supplemental mathematics resource that provides students with ongoing opportunities to review previously learned concepts while strengthening current skills. Through regular spiral review and targeted practice, students build retention, increase confidence, and maintain proficiency across multiple mathematical domains. The program helps students make connections among concepts and supports long-term mathematical growth.
