Subclaims¶

q2 i? For the general mathematics achievement domain, one study of UCSMP Algebra showed a statistically significant positive effect, resulting in a WWC rating of potentially positive effects with a small extent of evidence. → University of Chicago School Mathematics Project 2016

Evidence¶

q2 · i? · causal · r?

WWC effectiveness rating for UCSMP Algebra in the general mathematics achievement domain, based on one study meeting group design standards with reservations; the report states the study "showed a statistically sig- nificant positive effect" and assigns the rating of potentially positive effects with a small extent of evidence. No effect size is printed in this rating statement.

"Thus, for the general mathematics achievement domain, one study of UCSMP Algebra showed a statistically sig- nificant positive effect. This results in a rating of potentially positive effects, with a small extent of evidence."
