Kiddom and Illustrative Mathematics launch Maryland math curriculum for 2026-27

Kiddom, creator of an AI-powered teaching platform, has partnered with non-profit organization Illustrative Mathematics to create a new math curriculum designed specifically for the Revised MCCRS for Mathematics for K-8 and Integrated Algebra.

The tool aims to ensure all Maryland students learn mathematical procedural skills, develop conceptual understandings and are able to apply these to solve real world problems. 

The curriculum enables school districts to smoothly transition to the revised standards while ensuring a cohesive learning experience across all grades. 

“Maryland teachers are stepping into a new era of math instruction, and they deserve curriculum and technology that support them without getting in the way,” says Abbas Manjee, Co-founder and Chief Academic Officer at Kiddom. 

“Kiddom IM v.360 Maryland becomes the quiet infrastructure of the classroom: organizing lessons, surfacing insights, and clearing the path for teachers to spark the rich discussions that energize their students and re-energize them in return.”

Using Kiddom’s AI-powered Learning Intelligence Technology, the system is able to reduce the administrative burden on teachers, giving them more time to spend with their students. 

“Kiddom IM v.360 Maryland maintains the core tenets of IM’s research-backed, problem-based instruction while utilizing Kiddom’s technology to remove barriers many educators face,” adds Kristin Umland, CEO and Co-founder of IM. “Together, we are committed to providing every Maryland district with access to the content and tools they need to deliver rigorous, vibrant mathematics instruction, while supporting educators every step of the way.”
