This brief presents rigorous evidence of the impact of Wayne State University’s Math Corps summer program on student outcomes including college enrollment, college degree completion, and encounters with the criminal justice system.
This brief presents the results of a prospective descriptive analysis of the student characteristics and mathematics achievement at the three sites that replicated Wayne State University’s Math Corps, a summer camp for middle school students.
Young children’s exposure to early math concepts is important in their development, in their confidence in math skills, and in their ability to use math later in life.
This brief synthesizes the research on early childhood math to describe why early math is important and how families can be encouraged to support their children’s early math development during well-child primary care visits.
The brief describes how family engagement programs integrated early math learning into their typical activities and lays out practical tips that emerged from their experience. It can guide practitioners and other stakeholders who are interested in integrating early math into their own programs.
The Study of School Turnaround examines the improvement process in a purposive sample of 35 case study schools receiving federal funds through the School Improvement Grants (SIG) program over a three-year period (2010–11 to 2012–13 school years).
This paper explores how the design features of curriculum materials might influence potential opportunities to learn and student outcomes through a comparative, documentary analysis of four mathematics curricula commonly used in the United States.

This appendix provides the details that underlie the analyses reported in the evaluation brief, “After Two Years, Three Elementary Math Curricula Outperform a Fourth.”
In this Appendix, we provide details about the data used for the current study, the curricula used in the classrooms from which data were collected, and the current study’s methodological approach.
This brief is directed to researchers and adds to the research base about instructional practices that are related to student achievement.
