Illustrative Mathematics® (IM) and Snorkl Join Forces to Transform Math Classrooms with Instant AI Feedback

December 1, 2025 — What if students could get instant feedback on their math thinking and strategies, right as they’re working through problems? That’s exactly what Illustrative Mathematics and Snorkl, the leading AI tool for classrooms, are making possible through their new partnership.

IM, known for its high-quality, problem-based math curricula, has partnered with Snorkl as an IM Certified® partner to give teachers and students real-time, AI-powered insights that support learning and reasoning in the moment.

With Snorkl’s technology, students can explain their reasoning, receive targeted feedback, and revise their work on the spot—while teachers gain immediate visibility into each student’s understanding. The result: classrooms where students are active participants in their learning, and teachers have the insights they need to guide them forward.

“At IM, we’re always looking for ways to make our curriculum even more dynamic and responsive,” said Dr. Kristin Umland, CEO and cofounder of IM. “Snorkl’s technology aligns perfectly with our vision of students actively problem-solving and engaging with math, supported by teachers who can see and build on that thinking in real time.”

Together, IM and Snorkl are changing the feedback loop—turning math learning into an interactive, reflective, and engaging experience.
