Questions we actually get asked

Physical cards. Printed, cut, sorted by unit and lesson, and boxed with labels. Nothing arrives as a PDF for you to run off yourself.

We build separate kits for IM® K–5 Math and IM® v.360. They are not the same product relabeled — lessons moved between versions, some language changed, and the cards moved with them.

Lessons Only Card Decks cover every lesson card in the grade. Centers & Lessons Card Decks add all center activities. The Card Deck + Game Board Bundle adds the game boards.

Yes, for IM® v.360 only.

No. We believe in keeping costs reasonable for schools, so our materials are not laminated — but they are durable. Everything is cut from 80 lb card stock built to take a year of student use. For the game boards, page protectors are an easy and inexpensive way to add life to them, and that is what we do ourselves.

The materials are specified for a full school year of daily use, and most classrooms reuse the sets in year two.

We want to give districts the opportunity to provide their tax exemption. If you would rather pay by credit card, email us at sales@themathmodernist.com and we can make it happen.

Yes, on Net 30 terms for approved district POs.

Send us your certificate with your request and tax comes off before the quote is issued.

Yes, and most districts do. There is no minimum order.

Work back a month from your first teaching day, then add a margin for your own PO process. We ship as orders come in and summer is the busiest queue of the year, so the honest answer depends on what is already booked when your PO lands. Send the quote request with your first teaching day on it and we will tell you straight away whether that date is achievable — before you commit any money to it.
