The Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) is an educational curriculum designed for teaching mathematics to students in elementary and middle school. Developed in the 1970s by a team led by Dr. John W. Leech and Dr. John A. Van de Walle, CSMP emphasizes a conceptual understanding of mathematics rather than rote memorization of procedures.
