Line 7:
* Each book of the curriculum is divided into five- to eight-week units, each having a central problem or theme. This larger problem is intended to serve as motivation for students to develop the underlying skills and concepts needed to solve it, through solving a variety of smaller related problems.
* There is an emphasis on asking students to work together in [[collaborative learning|collaborative groups]].
* It is hoped that communication skills will be developed; exercises aimed at this goal are embedded throughout the curriculum, through the use of group and whole class discussions, the use of writing to present and clarify mathematical solutions; in some IEP classes, formal oral presentations are required.
* The IMP curriculum expects students to make nearly daily use of a scientific [[graphing calculator]].
