School Mathematics Project
- School Mathematics Project
The School Mathematics Project is a developer of mathematics textbooks for secondary schools, based in Southampton in the UK.
Now generally known as SMP, it began as a research project inspired by a 1961 conference chaired by Bryan Thwaites at the University of Southampton, which itself was precipitated by calls to reform mathematics teaching in the wake of the Sputnik launch by the Soviet Union, the same circumstances which prompted the wider New Math movement. It maintains close ties with the Collaborative Group for Research in Mathematics Education at the university.
The SMP is now a registered charity, and continues to publish textbooks in association with Cambridge University Press for GCSE and both AQA and Edexcel A-level exams. It also publishes a popular educational comic called "Mathematical Mike and his Dog Dingle."
