Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i3 The overall mean effect of mathematics interventions for kindergarten to third grade students was β = 0.61 (95% CI [0.29, 0.92]), with significant between-study heterogeneity (I² = 76%). → Anna H. Miller 2025

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3
Random-effects intercept-only meta-regression (Model 1) across 164 effect sizes from 24 RCTs and QEDs meeting WWC standards. The pooled estimate was β = 0.61 (95% CI [0.29, 0.92]) and "the derived I 2 value was 76%", which the authors say justifies moderator analyses.
"The overall mean effect of mathematics interventions for kindergarten to third grade students was β = 0.61 (95% CI [0.29, 0.92]). The null model showed significant heterogeneity (Q (163) = 682.85, p < .0001), and the derived I 2 value was 76%"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Targeted school-based interventions have positive short-term effects on standardised reading and mathematics tests for K-6 students with or at risk of academic difficulties — a broader claim this one bears on
