Description

A three-week summer bridge mathematics programme developed through WestEd’s National Research and Development Center to Improve Education for Secondary English Learners, serving rising ninth-grade students through modules on patterns, networks, and equivalence.

Components

  • RAMPUP summer bridge mathematics program: RAMPUP (Reimagining and Amplifying Mathematics Participation, Understanding, and Practices) is a summer bridge program developed through the National Research and Development Center to Improve Education for Secondary English Learners at WestEd to challenge and support rising 9th grade students transitioning from middle to high school. As the brief states, "RAMPUP is a 3-week program with three modules: patterns, networks, and equivalence." The brief draws examples of student reasoning from RAMPUP field trials. (Haiwen Chu (2024))
  • RAMPUP (Reimagining and Amplifying Mathematics Participation, Understanding, and Practices) summer bridge program: RAMPUP is a 3-week summer bridge enrichment course for rising 9th grade students bureaucratically designated as English Learners, designed to engage students with crosscutting mathematical concepts such as patterns and equivalence. Its modules include sorting tasks on real-world photographs, growing-pattern jigsaw activities, and collaborative description writing. Field trials over two summers refined the usability and feasibility of the materials. (Haiwen Chu (2025))
