Assigning a different pathway to a student in Imagine+ Math

All students begin in the Mastery pathway. Assign the Builder pathway when a student needs foundational skill development or enrichment, or assign Mastery when a student needs structured grade-level practice. Assigning a different pathway creates a new learning path; it does not automatically remove the student’s current pathway.

When to assign a different pathway

  • Assign Builder when the student needs foundational skill development or enrichment.
  • Assign Mastery when the student is ready for structured grade-level practice.
  • Consider a manual change when classroom observations or local data do not match the student’s assessment results.

 Note

Imagine+ Math may recommend a different pathway after an assessment. It does not automatically change a student from Mastery to Builder or from Builder to Mastery. To learn more about pathway recommendations, see Viewing and managing pathway recommendations in Imagine+ Math.

 Recommendation

Use Assignment Builder for short-term remediation, practice, or enrichment without changing a student's pathway. Limit pathway changes to no more than two per school year.

To assign a different pathway:

  1. Log in to the Product Portal and select the MyPath Math / Imagine+ Math tile.

Decide what to do with the previous pathway

After you assign the new pathway, choose whether the student should continue using the previous pathway.

Option What happens
Keep active The student can continue to access both pathways.
Pause pathway The pathway is hidden from the student. Its placement, progress, and usage data remain visible in educator reports.

To pause or deactivate the previous pathway:

  1. Locate the student’s previous pathway and select the more options icon ( More options icon ).
  2. Select Deactivate Learning Path or Pause Pathway. 
    Pause Pathway and Deactivate Learning Path options in the more options menu
