Abstract

At RISD, 7th and 8th grade students who used TI MathForward achieved higher scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) Mathematics than similar 7th and 8th grade students who used other mathematics programs during previous years. This study found evidence that the strongest application of MathForward was at grade 7 and a positive, but smaller, result was found for grade 8. The study also found that 9th grade Algebra I students who used MathForward scored lower than a similar group of 9th grade Algebra I students from previous years. While there is no evidence that 9th grade Algebra I students achieve higher after having participated more years in MathForward, students appear to achieve higher if their teachers have more experience using MathForward.
