Welcome to the Illustrative Mathematics (IM) Toolkit
for math school teams!

This start-up kit contains the best resources - both homegrown and
from outside of LAUSD - to help make your work supporting IM easier.
The curated resources are tailored to different audiences, because
effective implementation is a team sport - it can’t just fall to our teachers.

LAUSD Curriculum Maps

Keeping to a yearlong pacing guide is important to ensure coverage of the most important concepts for each course. See LAUSD's curriculum maps, including recommendations from teachers who have taught the course.

Key Features of the IM Toolkit

Our toolkit is organized into four sections to support instructional planning, department culture (vision and structures), coaching and leadership, and the specific everyday needs for coaches and teachers.

Agendas and protocols to help your department make sense of IM to make planning and delivering instruction easier.

Implementation tools to help your team set, monitor and maintain the conditions for teachers to do their best work.

Tools and resources to support the leadership team and instructional coach in achieving the implementation milestones.

A collection of general pedagogical and coaching resources that are great as reference points or for immediate use.

Educator Hub

The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools has developed instructional resources that leverage our experience working with educators to support high-quality instruction for our students. These videos of teaching and learning aim to spark discussions and reflect on best practices in mathematics.
