Subclaims¶

q2 i? The WWC review found no studies meeting group design standards that independently examine four of the UCSMP secondary courses, so effectiveness is not reported for those domains. → University of Chicago School Mathematics Project 2016

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Systematic review finding: of 12 eligible studies, only three met WWC group design standards (with reservations), all covering UCSMP Algebra or multiple UCSMP courses; the remaining nine studies did not meet standards, several because "equivalence of the analytic intervention and comparison groups is necessary and not demonstrated".

"No studies that independently examine UCSMP Geometry; UCSMP Advanced Algebra; UCSMP Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry; or UCSMP Precalculus and Discrete Mathematics fall within the scope of the Secondary Mathematics review protocol and meet WWC group design standards."
