Interactive Mathematics Program
The IMP curriculum integrates traditional material with additional topics such as statistics, probability, curve fitting, and matrix algebra. IMP units are generally structured around a complex central problem. Although each unit has a specific mathematical focus, other topics are brought in as needed to solve the central problem, rather than narrowly restricting the mathematical content. Ideas that are developed in one unit are usually revisited and deepened in one or more later units.

Interactive Mathematics Program Supplements
IMP's problem-centered approach helps students learn to think creatively and critically. Students learn to:
* Draw simultaneously from many areas of mathematics to solve challenging problems, based on real-world situations as well as fanciful scenarios
* Develop multiple strategies to solve problem
* Use equations, graphs, tables, diagrams, and words to justify their solutions
* Present their solutions and mathematical reasoning to small groups and to the entire class. CLICK ON PICTURE FOR FULL DETAILS AND PRICES.

Interactive Mathematics Program Year 4
Fourth-year IMP has a more varied subject matter than a calculus-focused course, and includes topics such as circular functions, computer graphics, and statistical sampling. Units build on the strong knowledge base of students who have completed three years in the program. Problem settings include a Ferris-wheel circus act and election polling.
