[quote=Anonymous]My kids had IM at their HGC before 2.0.  IM was designed to be an enriched course for advanced kids who would otherwise be ready for Algebra, but who were really young.  It was also a prerequisite of Algebra at TPMS.

Basically the sequence could be:

Math A - Math B - Algebra (non-magnet)
Math A - Math B - IM - Algebra

I couldn't find a link to the old pathways K-12, but there's a graphic of the different middle-school sequences on page 8 of this old course bulletin.

As I recall, the old unit had a major section devoted to set theory.  It also worked with modular math and non-base 10 numbering systems.  There may have been other enriched topics, but those are the main ones I remember.

For comparison's sake here are links to both the old version of IM amd the new version:
