Illustrative Math is a problem-based math curriculum that emphasizes student-centered learning. It focuses on conceptual understanding procedural fluency with real-world tasks and collaborative discussions. It helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, transforming math into a subject they can enjoy by fostering confidence and enabling them to see multiple solution paths. Illustrative Mathematics prioritizes depth over breadth. Rather than memorization of equations and procedures, it emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. This approach helps students develop a deeper understanding of mathematics and prepares them for higher-level mathematics courses.

Students grasp the why of math instead of memorization and engage in collaborative tasks and discussions about the math they are doing. Teachers guide discussions and student thinking. Students work together, sharing ideas and strategies before coming together as a class to synthesize their learning. The curriculum is designed to build three key aspects of mathematical proficiency: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and application to novel contexts.
