Related Claims¶

• Four years of multiple UCSMP courses have potentially positive effects on general mathematics achievement, with site-level and measure-level inconsistency — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• No studies meeting WWC group design standards exist for UCSMP Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Functions Statistics and Trigonometry, or Precalculus and Discrete Mathematics — related
• UCSMP Algebra has potentially positive effects on general mathematics achievement for secondary students, with a small extent of evidence — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The WWC rates UCSMP Algebra as having potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for secondary students — related
• Four years of multiple UCSMP courses have potentially positive effects on general mathematics achievement, with a small extent of evidence — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• UCSMP Algebra has potentially positive effects on the algebra domain, with mixed findings across two studies and a small extent of evidence — related
• The WWC found no statistically significant pooled difference between multiple UCSMP courses and comparison groups on the Mathematics Level 1 Achievement Test — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
