New Visions Math Curriculum
New Visions for Public School recommends Illustrative Mathematics for comprehensive, accessible math curriculum.
At New Visions for Public Schools, we believe that Illustrative Mathematics (IM) offers the most accessible, high-quality, vertically-aligned curriculum available for high school mathematics. Since IM is also a Core Curriculum option for NYC Public Schools, we are focusing our math professional learning and coaching support on the adoption and implementation of IM.
We recognize that a community of educators may continue using the New Visions Algebra I curriculum, Geometry materials, and Algebra II materials to support students’ success in secondary mathematics. These materials will still be available on our site; we encourage teachers to make their own copies of resources and modify as needed to make them useful for different needs

NOTE: While we recognize that a large community of educators continues to access these materials and use them to support students success in secondary mathematics, New Visions is currently unable to revise and update the math curriculum materials on this site.
Teacher Testimonials
"I've seen the greatest impact in my self-contained class. I used one of the routines we learned, “Contemplate then Calculate” and I could see lightbulbs going off. In this routine, I briefly introduce a math problem and students try to figure out methods for solving the problem without using a pen and paper. Instead, they share their thoughts with one another on how to solve the problem and then reflect in writing on what they learned. They were actually having meaningful conversations about math and working together to talk through solutions to the problem!”
"The biggest change the New Visions Math Curriculum has for my students is the large incorporation of activities and visuals for my students to interact with and use. It gives my students a strong entry point into the problem and activates their prior knowledge of concepts. This allows them to focus on the mathematics needed to solve the problem.”
