q3 · i1 · causal · r2

A randomized school-level study in the 2014-2015 school year assigned three schools to Math 180 and three schools to business-as-usual math instruction with 6th grade students. The summary reports that "Students receiving Math 180 exhibited greater growth on NWEA MAP mathematics assessments than students in the comparison condition (effect size = +0.31)."

"The first study, conducted in the 2014 to 2015 school year with 6th grade students, randomized three schools in which to implement Math 180 and three schools to continue with their business as usual math instruction. Students receiving Math 180 exhibited greater growth on NWEA MAP mathematics assessments than students in the comparison condition (effect size = +0.31)."
