Imagine Math pathways are series of lessons that are delivered to students. Each pathway has Pathway Options that determine specific pathway behaviors. The Pathway Options appear when Teachers or Administrators edit a custom pathway or create a new pathway.
Use the table below to understand each option and determine which options best align to your school or district goals.
Pathway Options
| Term/Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Use Benchmark Test Remediation |
If checked, students scoring below grade level on the Benchmark Test or NWEA MAP Growth Assessment will receive additional lessons (remediation lessons) either as prerequisite lessons and/or throughout their pathway. In the Student Progress Report, lessons added via Benchmark Remediation are identified as shown below.
|
| Use Pathway Remediation |
If checked, students who do not pass lessons on their pathway will have any available remediation lessons inserted into their pathway. In the Student Progress Report, lessons added via Pathway Remediation are identified as shown below. These lessons are added throughout the pathway as determined by the students' progress through each lesson. If unchecked, students will not receive any additional remediation for lessons they don't pass. |
| Allow Test Out | If checked, students scoring 80% or higher on a Pre-Quiz will test out of the lesson and move on to the next lesson. The lesson they tested out of counts as a passed lesson for them. If unchecked, students scoring 80% or higher on a Pre-Quiz will still receive all the components of the lesson. |
| Require Pre-Quiz |
If checked, students are presented with the Pre-Quiz. Notes If Allow Test Out is unchecked and Require Pre-Quiz is checked, students must take the Pre-Quiz. If they score 80% or higher, they still complete the rest of the lesson. If Allow Test Out and Require Pre-Quiz are both checked, students must take the Pre-Quiz. If they score 80% or higher, they skip the rest of the lesson. If Allow Test Out and Require Pre-Quiz are both unchecked, students will not receive the Pre-Quiz. |
Note
For the default grade-level pathways created by Imagine Math, the following options are enabled by default:
-
-
-
Use Benchmark Remediation
-
Use Pathway Remediation
-
Allow Test Out
- Require Pre-Quiz
-
-
If you wish to change these options, you must clone the pathway, change the cloned pathway's options, and then assign it to students.
Recommendations
For custom pathways, the only setting that is enabled by default is Allow Test Out. If you wish for the pathway to behave like the grade-level pathways your students may be used to, please also enable:
-
Use Benchmark Remediation
-
Use Pathway Remediation
- Require Pre-Quiz
However, if you want all students to take the same lessons in the same order at the same time, uncheck both Remediation options so that no additional lessons are inserted when students fail lessons.
