The Mississippi Department of Education has added Imagine Learning's Imagine IM and Traverse solutions to its list of state-adopted high-quality instructional materials. The programs provide customizable resources for math and social studies, with tools to foster student discourse, critical thinking, and real-world application of knowledge, according to a news announcement.

Imaging IM provides a "discourse-driven curriculum that builds deep mathematical understanding through student exploration and problem-solving," the company said. Features include:

  • Enhanced media content, including Inspire Math videos and Family Support resources;
  • Flexible course pathways, providing accelerated middle school courses and both traditional and integrated high school mathematics options; and
  • Embedded interactive tools to enhance conceptual understanding.

Traverse is a digital-first social studies core curriculum solution designed to build civic literacy and historical thinking skills. Features include:

  • Library of more than 1,500 written, oral, and visual sources to provide a rich, multidimensional understanding of history;
  • Interactive digital tools for peer collaboration and active engagement with content;
  • A focus on equipping students with analytical, research, and communication skills essential for academic and civic success; and
  • Lessons developed specifically for Mississippi educators and students, focusing on local historical figures, scientists, and architecture.

Both programs align with Mississippi's College- and Career-Readiness Standards.

"Imagine IM and Traverse give Mississippi educators the resources to engage students, strengthen instruction, and build critical thinking skills," said Kinsey Rawe, executive vice president and chief product officer at Imagine Learning, in a statement. "We're proud to support teachers with high-quality materials that drive meaningful learning and lasting achievement."
