Description

This What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Intervention Report presents findings from a systematic review of research on McGraw Hill's Everyday Mathematics. The report synthesized evidence from multiple studies examining the program's impact on students' math achievement in elementary grades. The WWC evaluated studies using rigorous evidence standards, focusing on settings across diverse schools and districts. The review included group design studies, such as randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs, comparing the outcomes of students using Everyday Mathematics to those using traditional math curricula. The outcomes examined focused on mathematics achievement and overall proficiency. The results summarized in the report demonstrate promising evidence that Everyday Mathematics positively impacts student learning, indicating that the curriculum's problem-solving and real-world application approach effectively supports mathematics instruction and skill acquisition in the classroom.
