IMP and the NCTM Standards

This grid shows how the Interactive Mathematics Program curriculum fits the NCTM standards. The grid lists the individual standards across the top and the titles of IMP units, by Year down the side. The bullets indicate the extent to which a given unit involves the particular standard, ranging from a blank (little or no discussion of that standard) to *** (major treatment of that standard).
