Line 14:
The text, which represents the entire first year of high school mathematics, centers around 5 sections:
1) Patterns -- a 24-day unit of introduction, operations with integers, angles, functions, and "in-out tables."
2) The Game of Pig -- a 29-day unit dealing with probability and expected value.
3) The Overland Trail -- a 30-day unit dealing with graphs, variables, rate, and lines of best fit.
4) The Pit and the Pendulum -- a 28-day unit dealing with graphing, equations (linear vs. nonlinear), and statistics.
5) Shadows -- a 26-day unit dealing with ratios and proportions, and basic geometry including similarity and triangles along with some basic trigonometry.
IMP has received intense criticism from organizations such as [[Mathematically Correct]] for being deficient compared to a traditional algebra / geometry / trigonometry high school mathmematics curriculum, and is being discarded by some school districts which have had unsatisfactory results with it.
