The '''Comprehensive School Mathematics Program,''' also known as '''CSMP''', was part of the McREL (Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning) Institute's Comprehensive School Reform program. An elementary math program in the [[United States of America]]. It ran from 1966 to 1984 and was implemented in 150 school districts in 42 states. About 55,000 students were using the program in 1984. It was designed to make math learning "fun" through the use of real life and fantasy elements. One example is that of Eli the Elephant, a [[pachyderm]] with a bag of magic peanuts — some representing positive integers, some negative.
