“The entire Illustrative Mathematics K-12 Math curriculum is an exceptional and new-aged way to teach students math. It’s entirely different from anything we’ve worked with before,” says Charley Cook, Vice President of Kendall Hunt’s K-12 Division. “We are honored that Kendall Hunt’s IM Certified version of our grades K–5 curriculum is green-lighted by EdReports. This reinforces that we are creating a high-quality and rigorous mathematics curriculum for all students and teachers,” says Dr. William G. McCallum, Illustrative Mathematics’ CEO and Cofounder.
