"EnVisionMATH," published by Pearson Education, Inc., is a core curriculum for students in kindergarten through grade 6. The program seeks to help students develop an understanding of math concepts through problem-based instruction, small-group interaction, and visual learning with a focus on reasoning and modeling. Differentiated instruction and ongoing assessment are used to meet the needs of students at all ability levels. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified one study of "enVisionMATH" that both falls within the scope of the Elementary School Mathematics topic area and meets WWC evidence standards. The study meets WWC evidence standards without reservations, and included 1,156 elementary school students in the second and fourth grades in eight locations across the United States. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for "enVisionMath" on the math performance of elementary school students to be small for the mathematics achievement domain, the only outcome domain examined for studies reviewed under the Elementary School Mathematics topic area. "enVisionMath" was found to have potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for elementary school students. Appended are: (1) Research details for Resendez & Azin, 2008; (2) Outcome measures for each domain; (3) Findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (4) Description of supplemental findings for Year 2 for the mathematics. A glossary is included. (Contains 4 tables, 6 endnotes and 1 additional source.).

"Saxon Math," published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, is a core curriculum for students in grades K-5. A distinguishing feature of the curriculum is its use of an incremental approach for instruction and assessment. This approach limits the amount of new math content delivered to students each day and allows time for daily practice. New concepts are introduced gradually and integrated with previously introduced content so that concepts are developed, reviewed, and practiced over time rather than being taught during discrete periods of time, such as in chapters or units. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 26 studies that investigated the effects of "Saxon Math" on the math performance of elementary school students. The WWC reviewed 14 of those studies against group design evidence standards. One study (Agodini, Harris, Thomas, Murphy, & Gallagher, 2010) is a randomized controlled trial that meets WWC evidence standards without reservations, and one study (Resendez & Manley, 2005) is a quasi-experimental design that meets WWC evidence standards with reservations. Those two studies are summarized in this report. Twelve studies do not meet WWC evidence standards. The remaining 12 studies do not meet WWC eligibility screens for review in this topic area. Appended are: (1) Research details for Agodini et al. (2010); (2) Research details for Resendez and Manley (2005); (3) Outcome measures for the mathematics achievement domain; (4) Findings included in the rating for the mathematics achievement domain; and (5) Summary of supplemental findings for the mathematics achievement domain. A glossary of terms is included. (Contains 5 tables and 10 endnotes.).

"Accelerated Math"[TM], published by Renaissance Learning, is a software tool used to customize assignments and monitor progress in math for students in grades 1-12. The "Accelerated Math"[TM] software creates individualized assignments aligned with state standards and national guidelines, scores student work, and generates reports on student progress. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified four studies of "Accelerated Math"[TM] for high school students that were published or released between January 1988 and October 2010. No studies of "Accelerated Math"[TM] that fall within the scope of the High School Math review protocol meet What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Accelerated Math"[TM] on high school students.

"Project SEED" is a supplemental mathematics program for low-achieving students in grades 3 through 8 and is intended to prepare students to be successful in high school and college math. Based on the Socratic method, instruction is delivered through a series of questions to the class. In addition to individual responses, the instructor solicits group feedback through silent hand signals, chorus responses, and quick surveys of written work. The program is intended to encourage active student learning, develop critical thinking, and strengthen articulation skills. Student learning is assessed regularly, and instructors adapt the lessons to accommodate different ability levels. The curriculum, taught by mathematics specialists, includes topics from advanced mathematics, such as advanced algebra, pre-calculus, group theory, number theory, calculus, and geometry. "Project SEED" instruction is provided in addition to regular math instruction four times a week for 14 to 16 weeks. The program also provides professional development for classroom teachers through modeling, coaching, and workshops. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 16 studies of "Project SEED" for elementary school students that were published or released between 1988 and 2011. Eight studies are within the scope of the Elementary School Math review protocol but do not meet WWC evidence standards. Five of these studies use a quasi-experimental design in which the analytic intervention and comparison groups are not shown to be equivalent prior to the start of the intervention. In the remaining three studies, "Project SEED" was offered through learning centers that provided a number of educational interventions in addition to "Project SEED". Therefore, measures of effectiveness in these studies cannot be attributed solely to "Project SEED". Eight studies are out of the scope of the Elementary School Math review protocol because they have an ineligible study design. Six of these studies do not include primary analysis of the effectiveness of "Project SEED". One study does not use a comparison group or single-case design. One study does not use a sample of elementary school students. A glossary of terms is included. (Contains 2 endnotes and 1 additional resource.).

"Odyssey Math," published by CompassLearning[R], is an interactive, software-based K-8 mathematics curriculum. It includes individualized instructional and assessment tools, as well as an administrative function that allows teachers to track student performance and progress and to generate reports. Lessons employ real-world contexts in which students can apply ideas, tools, and manipulatives, and they allow for individualized assessment and instruction. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 23 studies of "Odyssey Math" that were published or released between 1983 and 2008. Five studies are out of the scope of the review because they have an ineligible study design that does not meet WWC evidence standards; an additional fifteen studies are out of the scope of the review, as defined by the Middle School Math protocol, for reasons other than study design. The remaining three studies are withing the scope of the review and have an eligible design, but do not meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Odyssey Math."

"Great Books" is a program that aims to improve the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills of students in kindergarten through high school. The program is implemented as a core or complementary curriculum and is based on the Shared Inquiry[TM] method of learning. The purpose of "Great Books" is to engage students in higher-order thinking and collaborative problem solving. It involves teachers focusing discussion on the interpretation of a text and students participating as partners in these discussions. No studies of "Great Books" that fall within the scope of the Adolescent Literacy review protocol meet What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Great Books" on adolescent learners.

"Transition Mathematics" aims to increase 7th- through 12th-grade students' skills in applied arithmetic, pre-algebra, and pre-geometry. This one-year curriculum also addresses general application to different wordings of problems, types of numbers, and contexts for problems and aims to promote mathematical reading skills. The curriculum uses the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) textbook. The sequence of the topics intends to assist the transition from arithmetic to algebra and geometry. One study of "Transition Mathematics," first edition, comparing it with "Expert Mathematician," met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. One study of the first edition and one study of the second edition of the intervention, comparing it with diverse curricula used in different schools, met WWC evidence standards with reservations. The three studies included more than 2,000 students in seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in schools throughout the United States. Three studies reviewed by the WWC investigated the effects of "Transition Mathematics." One study (Baker, 1997) was a randomized controlled trial that met WWC evidence standards in the original review and met WWC evidence standards in this updated review. Two studies (Hedges, Stodolsky, Mathison, & Flores, 1986; Thompson, Senk, Witonsky, Usiskin, & Kaeley, 2005) used a quasi-experiment design that met WWC evidence standards with reservations. Of the three studies that examined the impact of the first and second editions of "Transition Mathematics," one study showed a substantively important negative effect, one study showed a statistically significant positive effect, and one study showed an indeterminate effect. Thus, based on the results of the three studies, the WWC found mixed effects on students' mathematics achievement. (Contains 8 footnotes.)

"Curiosity Corner" is a comprehensive early childhood curriculum designed to help children at risk of school failure because of poverty. The program offers children experiences that develop the attitudes, skills, and knowledge necessary for later school success with a special emphasis on children's language and literacy skills. "Curiosity Corner" comprises two sets of 38 weekly thematic units, one for three-year-olds and one for four-year-olds. Each day the program staff present children with learning experiences through sequential daily activities. The program provides training, support, and teaching materials for teaching staff and administrators. Parents are encouraged to participate in children's learning through activities both inside and outside the classroom. One study of "Curiosity Corner" met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations. The study included 316 three- and four-year-old children from four urban, high poverty school districts in New Jersey. This report focuses on immediate posttest findings to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for "Curiosity Corner" to be small for oral language and for cognition. No studies that met WWC evidence standards with or without reservations addressed print knowledge, phonological processing, early reading/writing, or math. "Curiosity Corner" was found to have no discernible effects on oral language and cognition. [This publication was produced by the What Works Clearinghouse.

"First Things First" is a reform model intended to transform elementary, middle, and high schools serving significant proportions of economically disadvantaged students. Its three main components are: (1) "small learning communities" of students and teachers; (2) a family and student advocate system that pairs staff members and students to monitor and support progress and that serves as a bridge between the school and family; and (3) instructional improvements to make classroom teaching more rigorous and engaging and more closely aligned with state standards and assessments. One study of "First Things First" met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations. The quasi-experimental research design included students from Houston high schools: 3 "First Things First" schools, each matched to 10 or 11 comparison schools. Based on this one study, the WWC considers the extent of evidence for "First Things First" to be small for staying in school. That study did not examine the effectiveness of "First Things First" in the domains of progressing in school or completing school. "First Things First" was found to have no discernible effects on staying in school in its first year of implementation. (Contains 9 footnotes and 1 table.)

"Doors to Discovery"[TM] is an early childhood curriculum that uses thematic units to engage young children and support them as they build an understanding of their world. "Doors to Discovery"[TM] literacy activities are used to encourage children's development in a number of areas identified by research as the foundation for early literacy success: oral language, phonological awareness, concepts of print, alphabet knowledge, writing, and comprehension. One study of "Doors to Discovery"[TM] met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. This study included 76 classrooms in universal pre-kindergarten, Head Start, or Title I programs in the Houston, Texas, metropolitan area and examined intervention effects on children's oral language, print knowledge, and phonological processing. This report focuses on immediate posttest findings to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for "Doors to Discovery"[TM] to be small for oral language, print knowledge, and phonological processing. No studies that met WWC evidence standards with or without reservations addressed early reading/writing, cognition, or math. "Doors to Discovery"[TM] was found to have no discernible effects on oral language, print knowledge, and phonological processing. (Contains 9 footnotes.)
