IM Math (Instructional Media for Mathematics) is an open-access and peer-reviewed International journal that aims to contribute to the enhancement of mathematics education through the publication of high-quality and original research and scholarly articles. It seeks to provide a platform for educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world to exchange ideas and insights related to research on mathematics education at all levels, from primary to higher education. The journal focuses on advancing theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge in mathematics education, which aims to bridge the gap between research and practice.
The journal publishes scholarly work that focuses exclusively on instructional media for mathematics learning. This includes, but is not limited to, the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and theoretical foundations of media used to support the teaching and learning of mathematics across educational levels. Submissions may explore digital media—such as interactive applications, virtual simulations, digital games, learning platforms, and multimedia resources—as well as non-digital and manipulative-based instructional media that enhance mathematical understanding.
The journal welcomes contributions from researchers, educators, and practitioners in the field of mathematics education. The journal accepts a variety of article types, including empirical articles and review articles. Contributors to the journal should ensure that their work is original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere, and aligned with the scope and objectives of the journal.

Instructional Media for Mathematics (IM Math) is an international journal that concerns primarily on the use of instructional media for learning mathematics. The term ‘media’ should be interpreted broadly as it refers to all materials and means that are used by teachers to implement instruction and facilitate students' learning. This includes but is not limited to computers, software, textbooks, videos, and manipulatives for hands-on activities. IM Math journal welcomes varied approaches to empirical research – i.e. qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods – and also high quality systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses.
Instructional Media for Mathematics journal is published biannually, namely in June and December.
