The '''Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP)''' is a four-year, problem-based mathematics curriculum for high schools. It was one of several curricula funded by the [[National Science Foundation]] and designed around the 1989 [[National Council of Teachers of Mathematics| National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)]] [[Principles and Standards for School Mathematics|standards]]. The IMP books were authored by Dan Fendel and Diane Resek, professors of mathematics at [[San Francisco State University]], and by Lynne Alper and Sherry Fraser. IMP was published by Key Curriculum Press in 1997 <ref>{{cite web|last=Wu|first=H.|title=Review of IMP|url=http://math.berkeley.edu/~wu/IMP2.pdf}}</ref> and sold in 2012 to It's About Time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.keycurriculum.com/about/press|title=Press|work=Key Curriculum Press Release|
