The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 23 studies of "Bridges in Mathematics" that were published or released between 1985 and 2008: four studies are out of the scope of the review protocol because they have an ineligible study design that does not meet WWC evidence standards; one study is out of the scope of the Elementary School Math review protocol because it is not a study of effectiveness; and eighteen studies are within the scope of the review protocol and have an eligible design, but do not meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Bridges in Mathematics."
Book Synopsis Saxon Math. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report by : What Works Clearinghouse (ED)
Download or read book Saxon Math. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by What Works Clearinghouse (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Saxon Math," published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is a core curriculum for students in grades K-5. A distinguishing feature of the curriculum is its use of an incremental approach for instruction and assessment. This approach limits the amount of new math content delivered to students each day and allows time for daily practice. New concepts are introduced gradually and integrated with previously introduced content so that concepts are developed, reviewed, and practiced over time rather than being taught during discrete periods of time, such as in chapters or units. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 26 studies that investigated the effects of "Saxon Math" on the math performance of elementary school students. The WWC reviewed 14 of those studies against group design evidence standards. One study (Agodini, Harris, Thomas, Murphy, & Gallagher, 2010) is a randomized controlled trial that meets WWC evidence standards without reservations, and one study (Resendez & Manley, 2005) is a quasi-experimental design that meets WWC evidence standards with reservations. Those two studies are summarized in this report. Twelve studies do not meet WWC evidence standards. The remaining 12 studies do not meet WWC eligibility screens for review in this topic area. Appended are: (1) Research details for Agodini et al. (2010); (2) Research details for Resendez and Manley (2005); (3) Outcome measures for the mathematics achievement domain; (4) Findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (5) Summary of supplemental findings for the mathematics achievement domain. A glossary of terms is included. (Contains 5 tables and 10 endnotes.).

Download or read book MathThematics. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by What Works Clearinghouse (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "MathThematics" is a mathematics curriculum for grades 6 through 8 that combines activity-based, discovery learning with direct instruction. The textbook for each grade level has eight instructional modules, with each module focused on a theme. Open-ended questions and projects are utilized throughout the curriculum to assess problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate mathematically. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified seven studies of "MathThematics" that were published or released between 1983 and 2008. Of the five studies of "MathThematics" that fall within the scope of the Middle School Math review, none meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "MathThematics." (Contains 1 footnote.).

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 11 studies of Destination Math that were published or released between 1983 and 2008: Six studies are our of the scope of the review because they have an ineligible study design that does not meet WWC evidence standards; four studies are our of the scope of the review, as defined by the Middle School Math protocol, for reasons other than study design; and one study is within the scope of the review and has an eligible design, but does not meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Destination Math." (Contains 2 footnotes.).
Book Synopsis Project SEED. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report by : What Works Clearinghouse (ED)
Download or read book Project SEED. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by What Works Clearinghouse (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Project SEED" is a supplemental mathematics program for low-achieving students in grades 3 through 8 and is intended to prepare students to be successful in high school and college math. Based on the Socratic method, instruction is delivered through a series of questions to the class. In addition to individual responses, the instructor solicits group feedback through silent hand signals, chorus responses, and quick surveys of written work. The program is intended to encourage active student learning, develop critical thinking, and strengthen articulation skills. Student learning is assessed regularly, and instructors adapt the lessons to accommodate different ability levels. The curriculum, taught by mathematics specialists, includes topics from advanced mathematics, such as advanced algebra, pre-calculus, group theory, number theory, calculus, and geometry. "Project SEED" instruction is provided in addition to regular math instruction four times a week for 14 to 16 weeks. The program also provides professional development for classroom teachers through modeling, coaching, and workshops. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 16 studies of "Project SEED" for elementary school students that were published or released between 1988 and 2011. Eight studies are within the scope of the Elementary School Math review protocol but do not meet WWC evidence standards. Five of these studies use a quasi-experimental design in which the analytic intervention and comparison groups are not shown to be equivalent prior to the start of the intervention. In the remaining three studies, "Project SEED" was offered through learning centers that provided a number of educational interventions in addition to "Project SEED". Therefore, measures of effectiveness in these studies cannot be attributed solely to "Project SEED". Eight studies are out of the scope of the Elementary School Math review protocol because they have an ineligible study design. Six of these studies do not include primary analysis of the effectiveness of "Project SEED". One study does not use a comparison group or single-case design. One study does not use a sample of elementary school students. A glossary of terms is included. (Contains 2 endnotes and 1 additional resource.).

Download or read book DreamBox Learning. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by What Works Clearinghouse (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "DreamBox Learning" is a supplemental online mathematics program that provides adaptive instruction for students in grades K-5 and focuses on number and operations, place value, and number sense. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified one study of "DreamBox Learning" that both falls within the scope of the Elementary School Mathematics topic area and meets WWC evidence standards. This study meets standards without reservations and included 557 elementary school students in kindergarten and first grade in three charter schools in San Jose, California. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for "DreamBox Learning" on the math performance of elementary school students to be small for the mathematics achievement domain, the only domain specified in the review protocol. "DreamBox Learning" was found to have potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for elementary school students. [On February 5, 2014, the WWC modified this report in response to new information provided by the study authors. Following the release of the intervention report on December 10, 2013 (ED544506), the WWC received a request from the study authors for another opportunity to respond to an author query to which the authors had previously not responded. The authors then provided information that the WWC had previously requested--specifically, regression-adjusted impact estimates using the full sample. The authors' original report included regression-adjusted impact estimates only for a sample that excluded students whose outcomes were classified as outliers by the study authors. Based on the new information provided, the review team updated the characterization of the study finding and the intervention rating in this report. The characterization of the study finding changed from "indeterminate effect" to "statistically significant positive effect." The intervention effectiveness rating changed from "no discernible effects" to "potentially positive effects." The WWC has not added studies to the body of evidence or updated the literature search since the December 2013 release of this report.

Download or read book Saxon Elementary School Math. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviewed seven studies of the "Saxon Elementary School Math program." A distinguishing feature of "Saxon Elementary School Math" is its use of a distributed approach, as opposed to a chapter-based approach, for instruction and assessment. One of these studies met WWC standards with reservations and the remaining studies did not meet WWC evidence screens. This study found no discernible effects on mathematics achievement. The evidence presented in this report is limited and may change as new research emerges. Using school-level data provided by the authors, the WWC confirmed that "Saxon Elementary School Math" did not have a statistically significant or substantively important effect on math achievement at each grade level from first to fifth grade. Based on this study finding, the WWC categorized "Saxon Elementary School Math" as having no discernible effects on overall math achievement. (Contains 7 footnotes.)

Download or read book Core-Plus Mathematics. What Works Clearinghouse Intervention Report written by What Works Clearinghouse (ED) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Core-Plus Mathematics" is a four-year curriculum that replaces the traditional sequence with courses that each feature interwoven strands of algebra and functions, statistics and probability, geometry and trigonometry, and discrete mathematics. The first three courses in the series provide a common core of broadly useful mathematics, while the fourth continues the preparation of students for college mathematics and statistics courses. The curriculum emphasizes mathematical modeling, using technology to emphasize reasoning with multiple representations (verbal, numerical, graphical, and symbolic) and to focus on goals in which mathematical thinking and problem solving are central. Instructional materials promote active learning and teaching centered around collaborative small-group investigations of problem situations, followed by teacher-led whole-class summarizing activities that lead to analysis, abstraction, and further application of underlying mathematical ideas. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviewed 17 studies on "Core-Plus Mathematics" for high school students. One of these studies meets WWC evidence standards with reservations; the remaining 16 studies do not meet either WWC evidence standards or eligibility screens. Based on the one study, the WWC found potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for high school students. The conclusions presented in this report may change as new research emerges. Appendices include: (1) Study characteristics: Schoen & Hirsch, 2002; (2) Outcome measures for the mathematics achievement domain; (3) Summary of study findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; (4) Summary of subgroup findings for the mathematics achievement domain; (5) "Core-Plus Mathematics" rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (6) Extent of evidence by domain.
