Description¶
RM-CC5 is an adaptive, blended Grade 5 mathematics core curriculum developed and operated by the nonprofit Reasoning Mind, with digital missions, mastery-based progression, teacher dashboards, and implementation support.
Components¶
Claims¶
- The authors interpret the null result as partly reflecting a tension between adaptive mastery learning and curricular coverage: students who master early topics slowly may not reach later topics tested by the state assessment [~W]
- Assigning schools to use RM-CC5 as their core Grade 5 mathematics curriculum for a full year did not significantly change state assessment achievement compared with business-as-usual schools [-M]
- No significant differential treatment effects by prior (Grade 4) achievement level or gender; the Grade 4 Level 3 subgroup difference was marginal (p = .053) [~M]
- Treatment students substantively engaged with RM-CC5 across the school year and all treatment schools met the program's implementation intensity benchmarks, though engagement varied widely between schools and students [+W]
- RM-CC5 treatment teachers shifted toward one-on-one instruction with individual students, while control teachers led more whole-group and small-group instruction [+W]
- Treatment classrooms used technology far more intensively than control classrooms, whose technology use remained supplemental [+W]
- RM-CC5 usage metrics correlated positively with achievement, and together accounted for an additional 7.3% of variance in Grade 5 scores beyond prior achievement, though causality and relative contributions could not be inferred [+W]
