Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Jill Feldman; Atsushi Miyaoka; Matthew Finster; Jennifer Flynn; Tara Dunderdale – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Background. Placement in developmental education in college is associated with negative effects on credits earned, course achievement, and degree attainment (Valentine, Konstantopoulos, & Goldrick-Rab, 2017) and requires substantial investments with costs to students and institutions estimated at $1.3 and $7 billion (Ganga, Mazzariello &…

Siqi Huang; Mozzie DosAlmas – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2024
This study reports on the design and implementation of an equity-focused, project-based algebra curriculum in two advanced eighth-grade classrooms. We document with substantial detail a promising approach to capturing how students demonstrate and build robust mathematical understandings in ways that strongly connect to equity issues. We illuminate…

Nabours, Kathy; Koh, Myung Hwa – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Mathematics faculty created a model for intermediate algebra integrating principles from the science of learning. The redesigned curriculum revolved around two big ideas (solving and graphing) and provided students with information about the formation of long-term memories, the benefits of distributed practice, the impact of physiological aspects…

Cai, Jinfa – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2014
Drawing on evidence from the Longitudinal Investigation of the Effect of Curriculum on Algebra Learning (LieCal) Project, issues related to mathematics curriculum reform and student learning are discussed. The LieCal Project was designed to longitudinally investigate the impact of a reform mathematics curriculum called the Connected Mathematics…

Penner, Andrew M.; Domina, Thurston; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Grantee Submission, 2014
Current educational policies in the United States attempt to boost student achievement and promote equality by intensifying the curriculum and exposing students to more advanced coursework. This paper investigates the relationship between one such effort -- California's push to enroll all 8th grade students in Algebra -- and the distribution of…

Kenfield, Danielle M. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Historically, algebra has served as a gatekeeper that divides students into academic programs with varying opportunities to learn and controls access to higher education and career opportunities. Successful completion of Algebra 1 demonstrates mathematical proficiency and allows access to a sequential and progressive path of advanced study that…

Domina, Thurston; Penner, Andrew M.; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Teachers College Record, 2014
Background/Context: Across the United States, secondary school curricula are intensifying as a growing proportion of students enroll in high-level academic math courses. In many districts, this intensification process occurs as early as eighth grade, where schools are effectively constraining their mathematics curricula by restricting course…

Domina, Thurston; Penner, Andrew M.; Penner, Emily K.; Conley, AnneMarie – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2012
In this paper, the authors investigate the consequences of curricular intensification by examining changes in the social organization of schooling and student achievement in one California school district. The authors' analyses consider the following three research questions: (1) What effect did 8th grade curricular intensification have on…

DuPree, Jared Bernard – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This study applies the constructs from effective instruction from the literature on teacher education to understand the impact of school district strategies on algebra outcomes for minority students. The purpose of this study was to examine the strategies utilized by superintendents and district personnel and the impact of these identified…

Smith, Jeffrey George – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Little empirical investigation has been conducted on high school students and teachers using online instructional multimedia developed entirely from the classroom teacher's traditional live-lecture format. This study investigated academic achievement, engagement, preference, and curriculum development using screen-capture instructional…

Nomi, Takako; Allensworth, Elaine – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2009
Expanded instructional time has become increasingly popular as a strategy to improve the academic outcomes of low-skilled students, particularly in the 9th grade. We evaluate the efficacy of a double-period algebra policy initiated in the Chicago Public Schools in 2003. This policy required all students with 8th-grade test scores below the…

St. John, Mark – Inverness Research, 2014
The Algebra Project DR K-12, funded by the National Science Foundation as a Research and Development Project, addressed the challenge of offering significant STEM content for students to ensure public literacy and workforce readiness. The project's primary purpose was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a model for establishing four-year…

Hagerty, Gary; Smith, Stanley; Goodwin, Danielle – PRIMUS, 2010
In 2001, Black Hills State University (BHSU) redesigned college algebra to use the computer-based mastery learning program, Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces [1], historical development of concepts modules, whole class discussions, cooperative activities, relevant applications problems, and many fewer lectures. This resulted in a 21%…

Schoen, Harold, Ed.; Ziebarth, Steven W., Ed.; Hirsch, Christian R., Ed.; BrckaLorenz, Allison, Ed. – IAP - Information Age Publishing, Inc., 2010
The study reported in this volume adds to the growing body of evaluation studies that focus on the use of NSF-funded Standards-based high school mathematics curricula. Most previous evaluations have studied the impact of field-test versions of a curriculum. Since these innovative curricula were so new at the time of many of these studies, students…
