This document provides an overview of the Michigan Mathematics Program Improvement (MMPI) which aims to improve mathematics programs and help students achieve Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) by raising MEAP scores. It discusses how students learn mathematics with references to research papers. The MMPI program components are sequenced for instructional coherence and designed around MEAP data. It uses three types of representations and four models of concrete representations. Activities are based on Grade Level Content Expectations and determined by MEAP scores with a focus on special education and general education students. Activities follow a concrete-representational-abstract sequence from using objects to representations to abstract symbols.
