Description¶
Four published elementary mathematics curricula evaluated comparatively by Agodini et al. (2013) for their effects on achievement in grades 1–2.
Components¶
- Four elementary math curricula evaluated: Investigations in Number, Data, and Space; Math Expressions; Saxon Math; and Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Mathematics: This element identifies the four elementary mathematics curricula compared in the Mathematica evaluation of math curricula for early elementary grades. The brief names them as "(1) Investigations in Number, Data, and Space; (2) Math Expressions; (3) Saxon Math; and (4) Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Mathematics." The study examined how these curricula affect achievement across two years, from first through second grades. (Agodini et al. (2013))
Claims¶
- First-grade math achievement is significantly higher under Math Expressions and Saxon Math than under Investigations in Number, Data, and Space and Scott Foresman-Addison Wesley Mathematics [+W]
- After two years of implementation, three of four elementary math curricula outperformed the fourth on student achievement in grades 1–2 [+W]
