The IMP curriculum looks and feels dramatically different from the
programs that have existed in most schools for many years.
• It is problem-centered.
• It is integrated.
• It expands the content scope of high school mathematics.
• It focuses on developing understanding.
• It includes long-term, open-ended investigations.
• It can serve students of varied mathematical backgrounds in
heterogeneous classrooms.

How the IMP Classroom Is Different

IMP’s rich curriculum and its focus on understanding require changes in the
classroom. The discussion below looks at several aspects of this change:
• An expanded role for the teacher
• A more active role for the student
• Extensive oral and written communication by students
• Both teamwork and independence for students
