What is it?

"Middle School Math through Applications" (MMAP) situates the math inside engaging and complex real world problems, and changes the social order of the classroom so that students are active constructors and seekers of mathematical expertise.  Central to MMAP is the placing of students in design problems that require the use of mathematics concepts as tools. The curriculum includes computer-based tools and simulations for the students to use.
