ABOUT THE STUDY

This study examines the academic growth of students at or below grade level who used the GiftedandTalented.com’s Digital Mathematics Program (DMP).

  • The study analyzed five years of DMP data from nearly 6,000 students, in grades 2 through 4, with a specific focus on struggling learners who began the program significantly below grade level.
  • Our analyses revealed that all students made gains in the DMP, with struggling students achieving the greatest performance improvements.
  • In addition, we found a positive relationship between time spent in the program and academic progress, particularly when students used the tutoring program’s component.
