Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Higher achievement was associated with asking the class if it agrees with a student's answer and with directing students to help one another understand mathematics. → Douglas H. Clements 2013

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Using more representations of mathematical ideas is associated with increased student math achievement — related
- Practices associated with higher math achievement gains include both student-centered and teacher-directed practices, though some student-centered practices were associated with lower gains — a broader claim this one bears on
- Teachers dedicating more time to whole-class instruction is associated with increased student math achievement — related
