    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. The IMP curriculum is problem-centered. Units of the IMP curriculum generally begin with a central problem or theme. Students explore and solve that problem over the course of the unit. How long does it take for a 30-foot pendulum to complete twelve periods? How can you predict the length of a shadow? What is the best design for a honeycomb? What is the probability that the baseball team currently in the lead will win the championship, given the current record of its closest rival? What's the best way to resolve the conflicts of a particular land-use situation within the constraints of competing political and social forces? When should a diver be released from a rotating Ferris wheel in order to land safely in a moving tub of water?
