This article explains the parts of the lessons in Imagine Math 3+. The visual at the top of the student's screen indicates which part of the lesson they are on (in yellow) and which parts they've already completed (check marks).
PRE-QUIZ: This activity is designed to assess student understanding of the content. Imagine Math does not provide feedback, Math Help, or access to Live Teachers in this activity. Students who earn at least 80% may be allowed to skip the rest of the activities in this lesson and move on to the next lesson in their pathway, with this lesson counting as a passed lesson.
Note
Students will not receive Pre-Quizzes on what are called "Introductory Lessons" for Grade 3 and Grade 4 as follows:
Grade 3: Visualizing Whole Numbers, Visualizing Place Value, Visualizing Addition, Visualizing Subtraction
Grade 4: Visualizing Place Value Relationships, Visualizing Rounding, Visualizing Addition and Subtraction, Visualizing Multiplication and Division
WARM-UP GAME: This activity has students work through problems or an interactive game covering concepts they should already understand to prepare them for the material that they are going to be learning.
The brief, interactive games support fact fluency by providing 20 or more practice opportunities within a 3-minute episode of game play. One danger of traditional practice exercises is that misconceptions can be reinforced through repetition. In contrast, Imagine Math's Warm Up games provide scaffolds and corrective feedback to students moment-by-moment so that students recognize and correct misconceptions and errors as they go.
GUIDED LEARNING: This is the activity in which Imagine Math starts working on helping students understand a concept. Students automatically get feedback for correct and incorrect answers, and they can click Math Help for instructional assistance. After an honest attempt at the problem, students are prompted to connect to a Live Teacher for more individualized instruction. It is important that students read the on-screen feedback, use the help that is provided, and take notes while in the Guided Learning activity.
PRACTICE: This activity asks students to work more independently as they practice solving problems. While they still get feedback for correct and incorrect answers, students do not have access to either the Math Help or the Live Teachers.
POST QUIZ: Like the Pre-Quiz, this activity is designed to assess student understanding of the content. Imagine Math does not provide feedback, Math Help, or Live Teachers in this activity. Students who earn at least 70% will move on to the next lesson in their prescribed pathway. Students earning less than 70% will automatically be assigned additional remediation lessons (when available) designed to help improve their understanding of this concept before re-attempting this lesson (at a later time).
