Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Transition Mathematics" aims to increase 7th- through 12th-grade students' skills in applied arithmetic, pre-algebra, and pre-geometry. This one-year curriculum also addresses general application to different wordings of problems, types of numbers, and contexts for problems and aims to promote mathematical reading skills. The curriculum uses the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) textbook. The sequence of the topics intends to assist the transition from arithmetic to algebra and geometry. One study of "Transition Mathematics," first edition, comparing it with "Expert Mathematician," met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. One study of the first edition and one study of the second edition of the intervention, comparing it with diverse curricula used in different schools, met WWC evidence standards with reservations. The three studies included more than 2,000 students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in schools throughout the United States. Three studies reviewed by the WWC investigated the effects of "Transition Mathematics." One study (Baker, 1997) was a randomized controlled trial that met WWC evidence standards in the original review and met WWC evidence standards in this updated review. Two studies (Hedges, Stodolsky, Mathison, & Flores, 1986; Thompson, Senk, Witonsky, Usiskin, & Kaeley, 2005) used a quasi-experiment design that met WWC evidence standards with reservations. Of the three studies that examined the impact of the first and second editions of "Transition Mathematics," one study showed a substantively important negative effect, one study showed a statistically significant positive effect, and one study showed an indeterminate effect. Thus, based on the results of the three studies, the WWC found mixed effects on students' mathematics achievement. (Contains 8 footnotes.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bridges in Mathematics," published by the Math Learning Center (MLC), is an elementary school math curriculum covering kindergarten through fifth grade that focuses on problem solving and skill building, and applies a combination of whole-group, small-group, and independent activities. Lessons incorporate visual models, including manipulatives, to reinforce learning. 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."

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."

This book was released on 2015 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Everyday Mathematicsʼ" curriculum aims to provide students in prekindergarten through grade 6 with multiple opportunities to learn math concepts and practice skills. Since the release of the WWC's 2010 Everyday Mathematics report, the curriculum continues to be widely used and evaluated. This updated review includes 30 studies that were not in the 2010 report. Despite the new research, no additional studies meet WWC design standards and therefore, the WWC rating remains unchanged. Based on the research, the program was found to have potentially positive effects on math achievement for elementary students. The following are appended: (1) Research details for Waite, 2000; (2) Outcome measures for the mathematics achievement domain; (3) Findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (4) Description of supplemental findings for the mathematics achievement domain. A glossary of terms is provided. [For the 2010 edition of this report see ED511794.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "EnVisionMATH," published by Pearson Education, Inc., is a core curriculum for students in kindergarten through grade 6. The program seeks to help students develop an understanding of math concepts through problem-based instruction, small-group interaction, and visual learning with a focus on reasoning and modeling. Differentiated instruction and ongoing assessment are used to meet the needs of students at all ability levels. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified one study of "enVisionMATH" that both falls within the scope of the Elementary School Mathematics topic area and meets WWC evidence standards. The study meets WWC evidence standards without reservations, and included 1,156 elementary school students in the second and fourth grades in eight locations across the United States. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for "enVisionMath" on the math performance of elementary school students to be small for the mathematics achievement domain, the only outcome domain examined for studies reviewed under the Elementary School Mathematics topic area. "enVisionMath" was found to have potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for elementary school students. Appended are: (1) Research details for Resendez & Azin, 2008; (2) Outcome measures for each domain; (3) Findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (4) Description of supplemental findings for Year 2 for the mathematics.

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.

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.).

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Connected Mathematics Project" ("CMP)" is a problem-centered mathematics curriculum designed for all students in grades 6-8. Each grade level of the curriculum is a full-year program and covers numbers, algebra, geometry/measurement, probability, and statistics. The program seeks to make connections within mathematics, between mathematics and other subject areas, and to the real world. The curriculum is divided into a sequenced set of units, each organized around different mathematical topics. The four to seven lessons in a unit each contain one to five problems that the teacher and students explore in class. Additional problem sets, called Applications, Connections, and Extensions, in each lesson help students practice, apply, connect, and extend their understanding and skills. Each lesson culminates in a Mathematical Reflections activity. According to the developers, the "CMP" addresses National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards. Three studies of the "CMP" met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations. The three studies included over 26,000 students from grades 6-8 in about 100 schools located in northeastern, south central, midwestern, and western states. The "CMP" curriculum was found to have mixed effects on math achievement. (Contains 8 tables and 9 footnotes.) [This publication was produced by the What Works Clearinghouse.

The curriculum is based on a student-centered approach with a focus on active learning that incorporates reading and uses a flexible lesson organization. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified two studies of "UCSMP Algebra" and one study of the cumulative effect of "multiple UCSMP courses" that both fall within the scope of the Secondary Mathematics topic area and meet WWC group design standards. No studies meet WWC group design standards without reservations, and two studies of "UCSMP Algebra" meet WWC group design standards with reservations. Together, these two studies included 225 students in grades 8-12 in three locations. The one study of "multiple UCSMP courses" also meets WWC group design standards with reservations. This study included 62 students in grades 7-10 in two locations. The findings in this report pertain to "UCSMP Algebra" and the cumulative effect of "multiple UCSMP courses". "UCSMP Algebra" was found to have potentially positive effects on general mathematics achievement and algebra for secondary students. The cumulative effect of "multiple UCSMP courses" was found to have potentially positive effects on general mathematics achievement for secondary students.

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.).
