were any of you enrolled in the experimental IMP (interactive mathematics program) in high school? how was your experience?
if you don't know what it is, basically, instead of "traditional" high school math programs where you learn one subject at a time in order (algebra 1, geometry, trig, algebra 2, pre-calc, calc), in IMP year 1 you learn a little bit of everything. then in IMP year 2 you learn a little bit more of everything, and so on.
sort of like a breadth-first search instead of a depth-first search.
i was an IMP student and it was okay, but after I graduated I learned that my high school deemed the IMP program unsuccessful at being superior than traditional math curriculum.
if your school didnt have this program or you weren't enrolled in it, what do you think about it?
