This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of teaching mathematics is ever-changing. Amidst changes in pedagogy, curricula, and standards, what is most important is the belief that students can achieve high levels of math. Mathematical attainment is related to positive math self-efficacy and the use of mathematical practices. This experimental design study aimed to analyze the effects of a six-week intervention on students’ math self-efficacy, practices, and achievement in grades four through six. The following research questions guided the study: RQ1. What effect does the intervention have on students’ math self-efficacy? RQ2. What effect does the intervention have on students’ math practices? RQ3. What effect does the intervention have on students’ math achievement? RQ4. What other student variables moderate the effects of the intervention (i.e., gender, grade level, teacher)? Study results indicated that students in the intervention group reported higher than average gains on the MSE and the SMP than the control group. However, the higher gains on these two measures were not statistically significant. Additionally, the control group’s average increase on the STAR math assessment was higher than the intervention groups but also not statistically significant. These findings provide a practical application for teachers to improve students’ math self-efficacy but suggest additional studies to expand the body of research and the potential benefits of such interventions to math education, teachers, and students alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the impact of lesson plans aligned with Pennsylvania Common Core math standards and district recommended scope and sequence on student mathematics achievement, as measured by Pennsylvania's standardized test, the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). Research was conducted in a suburban district with a Free and Reduced lunch rate of 63.5%. The method selected for this study was a quantitative correlational statistical analysis. Lesson plans were examined for curriculum alignment with high leverage grade level math standards and then compared with student achievement on the grade level Math PSSA. The assumption made in this study in when lesson plans are aligned with state standards and the recommended scope and sequence, students are more likely to achieve proficiency on state assessments. A further assumption is that the dilution of the curriculum to adjust to perceived student ability inhibits student achievement and creates equity issues. Secondarily, during data collection, time dedicated to actual mathematics instruction was collected and noted. Instructional time was measured as a percentage of days represented by lesson plans. The assumption is that time spent on instruction will have an impact on student achievement. This study sought to examine the impact of three key variables: alignment of lesson plans to standards; following the recommmended scope and sequence of math instruction; and instructional time spent on mathematics.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have been developed in response to the criticism that students in the U.S. are graduating from high school without being college and career ready and that they are falling behind their counterparts in other countries in key subject areas. In this work, the authors report the results of an efficacy study that investigated the impact of Math in Focus: Singapore Math ("MIF")--developed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) that, according to the program developer, provides comprehensive support for CCSS. The research questions are as follows: (1) Is there a positive impact of MIF on student skills in mathematics problem solving?; (2) Is there a positive impact of "MIF" on student math procedural skills?; and (3) Is "MIF" differentially effective in its impact on student achievement depending on (1) the ethnicity of the student? (2) the incoming achievement level of the student? The research took place during the 2011-2012 school year across twelve elementary schools in one urban school district in Nevada. Ninety-three teachers of grades 3, 4 and 5 were recruited to participate in the study, with 41 teachers randomized to the "MIF" group and 52 teachers randomized to the control group. Rosters were provided for 2235 students in participating teachers' classrooms. The design was a group randomized trial lasting one year. A two-level hierarchical linear regression model to estimate the impacts of "MIF" on student achievement. The study gives preliminary evidence concerning the impact of one CCSS-aligned math intervention on student performance on two mathematics strands. Tables are appended.
Download or read book The Effects of Flipped Learning on Middle School Students Achievement with Common Core Mathematics written by Jared Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common Core State Standards (CCSS) has caused K-12 math teachers to search for new pedagogical strategies to instruct their students. This study investigated whether a popular learning environment called flipped learning is a valuable instructional technique to be used with a seventh grade CCSS's math curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning. Flipped learning is a form of blended learning that combines information and communication technology with instruction that switches the focus of the classroom instruction from one that is teacher-centered to one that is student-centered. Literature is limited with flipped learning being integrated in a K-12 math classroom. However, literature suggests that flipped learning and California CCSS Mathematics Framework share a commonality based on technology-supported learning, student-centered instruction and problem-based learning activities. This study used a quasi-experimental methodology with a repeated measures design to compare the effects flipped learning had on a group of middle school students' academic achievement in a seventh grade CCSS math class. The two cohorts' (control and intervention group) results from three measures (pre-test and two post-tests) were analyzed using three analyses: difference in average scaled scores, Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance, and t-tests to determine if there was a difference in performance. Though the findings show the effects of flipped learning were insignificant; the results from this study still suggest that flipped learning is equally an effective learning environment for student-centered instruction and/or blending other learning environments for K-12 teachers.
Download or read book Effects of the Connected Mathematics Project 2 CMP2 on the Mathematics Achievement of Grade 6 Students in the Mid Atlantic Region Final Report NCEE 2012 4017 written by Taylor Martin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the effects of Connected Mathematics Project 2 (CMP2) on grade 6 student mathematics achievement and engagement using a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. It responds to a need to improve mathematics learning in the Mid-Atlantic Region (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC). Findings reveal that the type of instructional activity taking place in intervention schools differed from that in control schools, and the activity observed in intervention schools was the type expected when implementing CMP2. Sixty-four percent of intervention teachers reported implementing the curriculum at a level consistent with the publishers' recommendations on the number of units completed per school year (six), and 68 percent of them reported implementing the curriculum consistent with the recommended amount of class time per week. But CMP2 did not have a statistically significant effect on grade 6 mathematics achievement as measured by the TerraNova, which answered the primary research question.12 Indeed, grade 6 mathematics students in schools using CMP2 performed no better or worse on a standardized mathematics test than did their peers in schools not using it. The results for the secondary research question were similar. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in PTV, and the small effect size is unlikely meaningful. These results were insensitive to alternative model specifications. The lack of statistically significant effects is consistent with prior research on CMP2 rated in the 2010 WWC review as meeting standards "with reservations" (Schneider 2000) and the Eddy et al. (2008) RCT. The intent-to-treat analytical approach used in this study, which analyzes participants based on how they are randomly assigned, yielded unbiased estimates of program effectiveness as implemented. To estimate the effect of CMP2 under typical conditions, teachers were provided all the typical materials and PD that a normal school adopting CMP2 would have. However, while CMP2 use was tracked, the study team did not ensure a particular amount or quality of CMP2 instruction. So, the curriculum impact reflects the effect of a school being assigned to use CMP2 or to continue use of their regular curriculum, not necessarily of actually using CMP2. The results apply to the implementation of the CMP2 curriculum, after typical PD, in schools with grade 6 students. Use of a volunteer sample limits the findings to the schools, teachers, and students that participated in the study in the Mid-Atlantic region. The conclusions drawn in this study about the effects of CMP2 on student math achievement are limited to student math achievement as measured by the TerraNova, and do not generalize to any other standardized test. Appended are: (1) CMP2 Curriculum and PD; (2) Statistical Power Analysis as Conducted During the Design Phase; (3) Procedure and Probability of Assignment to Study Conditions; (4) Student Math Interest Inventory; (5) Teacher Surveys; (6) Classroom Observation Data Collection; (7) Equations to Estimate the Impact of CMP2; (8) Implementation Analysis for Intervention and Control Schools; (9) Cost of the Curriculum and Professional Development; and (10) Results from Hierarchical Linear Models to Estimate the Impact of CMP2.

Download or read book The Effects of Schema based Intervention on the Mathematical Word Problem Solving Skills of Middle School Students with Learning Disabilities written by Kyong-Eun Na and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A schema-based instruction allows students to approach a mathematics problem by focusing on the underlying semantic or problem structure, thus facilitating conceptual understanding and adequate skills. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of schema-based intervention on the mathematical word problem solving skills of middle school students with learning disabilities in grades 6 and 7. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design was used for the study. Four middle school students with learning disabilities participated in pre-experimental (i.e., introduction, screening test, and Mathematics Interest Inventory sessions) and experimental (i.e., baseline, intervention, post-intervention test with generalization test, and maintenance test) sessions over a 13-week period. Participants were randomly assigned to a priori baseline durations (i.e., 6, 9, 12, 17 days) (Watson & Workman, 1981). During the intervention phase, students received 12 sessions of individual 30-35 minute schema-based intervention for 6 days (i.e., 2 sessions per day). Students participated in guided and independent practice and were encouraged to ask questions as they worked to master the material taught in each intervention session. During the postintervention phase, the four students' accuracy performance was evaluated by six untimed achievement or generalization tests. The achievement and generalization tests contained a total of 10 one-step multiplication and division word problems. All of the students achieved scores greater than a pre-determined criterion level of 70% accuracy on the six consecutive tests. Two weeks after termination of the post intervention phase, each student's accuracy performance on the achievement and generalization tests was examined during the follow-up maintenance phase. Findings revealed that the four students' performance substantially improved after they received the intervention. All four students achieved scores that exceeded the criterion level (70% accuracy) on the achievement tests during the post intervention phase. These findings provide empirical evidence that schema-based intervention is effective in teaching middle school students with learning disabilities to solve multiplication and division word problems. Limitations of the research and implications for practice and future research are discussed.
