q3 · i? · causal · r2

Meta-analysis of two EEF-funded randomised controlled trials of Mathematics Mastery (this Year 1 trial and a Year 7 trial), discussed in the executive summary and conclusion; the report cautions that meta-analysis requires care when studies vary in important ways.

"Combining the findings from this study and a second randomised controlled trial of Mathematics Mastery involving Year 7 pupils shows a statistically significant average impact of one additional month's progress. This combined finding strengthens the overall evidence for the approach"
