• Pre-Unit Diagnostic Assessment: Each unit begins with a diagnostic assessment (“Check Your Readiness”) of concepts and skills that are prerequisite to the unit as well as a few items that assess what students already know of the key contexts and concepts that will be addressed by the unit.

• Instructional Tasks: Each instructional task is accompanied by commentary about expected student responses and potential misconceptions so that teachers can adjust their instruction depending on what students are doing in response to the task. Often there are suggested questions to help teachers better understand students’ thinking.

• Cool-Downs: Each lesson includes a cool-down (analogous to an exit slip or exit ticket) to assess whether students understood the work of that day’s lesson. Teachers may use this as a formative assessment to provide feedback or to plan further instruction.

• Section Checkpoints: Each section in grades 2-6 has a 2-4 Problem Checkpoint to assess the section learning goals. These can be used for extra practice or can be used to check student understanding before the end of the unit. Each section also has a monitoring sheet that can be used to indicate that students are meeting the section goals.

• End of Unit Assessment: Each unit includes an end-of-unit written assessment that is intended for students to complete individually to assess what they have learned at the conclusion of the unit. Longer units also include a mid-unit assessment. The mid-unit assessment states which lesson in the middle of the unit it is designed to follow.

There's a bank of resources to help you with family communication about Imagine Learning:

• An Introduction Letter that will be sent to all families by the District Office in August

• Suggested Back to School Night Imagine Learning slides

• An infographic of Lesson Components

• Family Support Materials for each unit in English & Spanish (Found on the Imagine Learning Website under each unit's Home Connection tab)

• Cover Sheets for each grade level end-of-unit assessment

Helpful Tips:

• ST Math recommends that students in 2nd-6th grades engage in ST Math for 90 minutes per week; 20-30 minute blocks are encouraged to maximize problem solving and reasoning.

• It is important that students do the critical thinking, and teachers & parents only use questions when helping stuck students. Try to guide students by only asking the questions on this poster.

• Student progress is automatically saved.

• More resources and information can be found on the ST Math Support page.
