Imagine+ Math empowers students with language tools that make learning accessible in their preferred language. This article explains how to use the text-to-speech (TTS, headphone icon) and language translation (globe icon) tools in Imagine+ Math.
Note
Language tools are available for most lesson content, but not inside math videos. Assessments support Spanish translation only.
Enabling language tools for students
- Enable language settings for each student: Language translation and TTS must be activated individually by educators or administrators in the Product Portal. For step-by-step instructions, see how to edit student accounts and settings.
- Once enabled, students see the following icons in the left side panel of their Imagine+ Math lessons:
A. Headphone: Activates text-to-speech (TTS)
B. Globe: Opens the language translation menu
Recommendation
Review all students’ language settings at the start of each term and when new students join your class.
How to use text-to-speech (TTS)
To have text read aloud to you in your chosen language:
- Highlight the onscreen text you want read aloud. If you do not highlight a section first, TTS will read from the top of the page.
- Click the "Read Aloud" tool, which is the headphone icon in the left side panel.
- Click the Play button to hear the text read aloud.
Note
If needed, choose an option in the Speed dropdown to have the text read slower or faster.
How to use the language translation tool
To translate onscreen text into another language:
- Click the globe icon in the left side panel.
- In the language selection menu, choose your desired language.
- The onscreen text will appear in the selected language.
- To switch back to English or another language, repeat steps 2–3 and select a different option.
