Information

Program Description:

MPM Math, originated in 1988, is a well-sequenced math program designed around the concepts of Multiple-Process and Multi-Model mathematics. The program is a self-learning system personalized for each student. Right now, the program is flourishing in United States, Canada, Taiwan, Singapore and Philippines with more than 80,000 students and more than one thousand classrooms.

Program’s five Goals:

(1) To improve overall math skills by balancing the growth of calculation and conceptional abilities,
(2) to promote true problem-solving skills through the development of independent, divergent, and creative thinking,
(3) to encourage an active self-learning attitude,
(4) to strengthen self-confidence by continuously challenging the new and the unknown, and
(5) to revitalize the enjoyment of learning mathematics.
