Illustrative Mathematics (K-12)
Illustrative Mathematics is a discerning community of educators dedicated to the coherent learning of mathematics. We collaborate at illustrativemathematics.org, sharing carefully vetted resources for teachers and teacher leaders to give our children an understanding of mathematics and skill in using it. We provide expert guidance to states and districts working to improve mathematics education.
The goal of Illustrative Mathematics is:
  • to illustrate standards with impeccably crafted tasks, videos, lesson plans, and curriculum modules
  • to be the premier source of freely available online mathematics content for teachers, teacher leaders, assessment developers, curriculum writers, and teacher educators.
  • to be a discerning professional community that creates content and deploys expertise in multiple ways.
  • to engage individuals and small groups, with rare and needed expertise, who are currently isolated in pockets across the country.
  • to provide a space for teachers to share across classrooms and help each other grow in teaching our children mathematics.
