In Imagine MyPath Math and Imagine+ Math Beta, Teacher Supports are lesson-specific strategies and instructional ideas available on the lesson details page, next to the Resources panel. Teachers and Administrators can use them to plan reteaching, small-group, one-to-one, or whole-class support.
Types of Teacher Supports
Teacher Supports are organized into seven categories.
| Category | What it helps with |
|---|---|
| Coherence and Connections | Connects the lesson concept to prior learning, upcoming units, or real-world contexts. |
| Building the Foundation | Provides scaffolds and activities for students who need support with prerequisite or grade-level skills. |
| Developing Vocabulary | Builds understanding of key math terms, symbols, and language used in the lesson. |
| Common Misconceptions | Highlights common errors and gives ideas for helping students rethink their approach. |
| Support for Struggling Students | Provides step-by-step scaffolds and question stems for students who need more structure. |
| English Language Support | Offers language supports such as sentence frames, visuals, and home-language connections. |
| Enrichment and Extension | Extends the core concept with follow-up activities, questions, or discussions. |

How to use Teacher Supports
Review student performance data first. When available, use Answer Rationales to help you choose which Teacher Supports students need.
| What you're seeing | Teacher Supports to use |
|---|---|
| Many students did not pass a lesson on their first attempt. | Start with Common Misconceptions and Support for Struggling Students to plan a brief small-group or whole-class reteach. |
| Answer Rationales show that students are misinterpreting vocabulary or problem language. | Use Developing Vocabulary and English Language Support to design a quick language-focused warm-up before students revisit the concept. |
| Performance data suggests students are not ready for the grade-level concept. | Use Building the Foundation to focus on just-enough prerequisite skills and representations in a short, targeted session. |
| Students showed strong understanding, and you want to deepen their thinking. | Use Enrichment and Extension to create follow-up questions, tasks, or discussions that extend the core idea. |
| You want students to see how the lesson fits into the bigger math picture. | Use Coherence and Connections to link the lesson to earlier units, upcoming topics, or real-world applications. |
