The design structure at the heart of the curriculum
We support strategic instruction
Discussion and problem-solving
Our easy-to-use slides and teaching notes empower teachers to shift math classes from workbook time to discussion-and-problem-solving time. Guidance is built into every lesson, providing teachers with in-context professional development.Support for differentiation
We make it easy for teachers to provide differentiated instruction. Each lesson, which includes a warm-up, activities, a cool-down, and practice problems, can be assigned to small groups and individual students.Digital interactives powered by Geogebra and Desmos
Interactives bring tasks to life, allowing students to explore real-world and mathematical contexts.Integrated digital assessments
We’ve integrated digitized unit assessments and practice items, giving teachers auto-scored formative feedback on student mastery. At the same time, students get more practice with tech-enabled questions.
"LearnZillion’s versatility provides opportunity and access to Illustrative Mathematics. The awesome digital applets enhance the student experience by encouraging unlimited trials and manipulation."
- Andrea Winkleblech, Instructional Math Coach, Laurel Middle School
Enhanced Print
Realize significant savings over self-printing: We provide high-quality student workbooks delivered directly to your district or school. Each consumable student workbook covers three units within a grade level.

Professional Development
The transition to using a new platform should be easy for educators. We work closely with districts to support the effective implementation of the LearnZillion Illustrative Mathematics 6–8 Math curriculum. The year-long engagement provides teachers, leaders, and coaches on-site, virtual, and on-demand support to instill confidence and insure fidelity.
Our curriculum is IM Certified™
As the first IM Certified™ curriculum, LearnZillion IM 6-8 Math follows Illustrative Mathematics' philosophy, sequence, and pedagogy.
"It has been a joy to have LearnZillion as an IM Certified partner. We are proud to see LearnZillion's version of our grades 6–8 curriculum pass, with flying colors, EdReports' criteria for Focus and Coherence, Rigor and Mathematical Practices, and Usability."
