The Middle School Math through Applications Program (MMAP) began as a curriculum development and research project. The resulting comprehensive curriculum was published as Pathways to Algebra and Geometry. Over the years, MMAP has grown to encompass a number of programs for young people, parents and teachers. The programs below showcase inclusive approaches to mathematics learning.

Middle school Mathematics through Applications Project (MMAP) is an technology-rich, standards-based, comprehensive curriculum developed with funding from the NSF. It has been designated "promising" as a mathematics program and as a technology program by the US Department of Education. This curriculum, modified for commercial publication, has been published as Pathways to Algebra and Geometry. Both Pathways and MMAP are available for sale on this website. The MMAP/Pathways Curriculum Support Center provides information and support for users of MMAP units and Pathways.

VITAL has produced a multimedia CD-ROM.
The CD-ROM, Inspired by Standards: Math Teacher in Their Classrooms, is a tool for exploring standards-based math teaching. It combines video from real middle school classrooms with reflection activities, lesson plans, background mathematics, and other resources. A window into classrooms where teachers are implementing the new NCTM Principles and Standards, this CD will help teachers, teacher educators and preservice teachers identify issues in changing math teaching and learning.
