Online math program for grades 4-9 recognized for evidence-based positive impact on student achievement and high-quality content
NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 3P Learning, a global leader in online education for school-aged students, announces Mathletics, the company's math program for intermediate learners, has achieved Level II certification under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Mathletics also earned the ISTE Seal this spring. These acknowledgments, granted to programs demonstrating exceptional quality and evidence-based positive impact on student success, come as education leaders double down on programs shown to increase academic achievement.
LearnPlatform by Instructure conducted an independent study in accordance with ESSA Level II requirements to evaluate the effectiveness of Mathletics in improving academic achievement. The study analyzed NWEA MAP® testing scores from 1,885 third- through fifth-grade students across eight schools within a single district. The comparison focused on the performance of 1,561 students who used Mathletics versus 324 who did not use the program.
The research team found:
- Students who used the Mathletics program "moderately" or "heavily" had higher end-of-year scores than those who had not used the program often.
- If a student at the 50th percentile had used Mathletics, it would result in the student moving to the 54th percentile on average—a 4 percentile point improvement.
Mathletics joins 3P Learning's K-3 math program, Mathseeds, in achieving ESSA Level II certification. Combined, the duo provides a comprehensive, evidence-based math solution from kindergarten through middle school.
The ISTE Seal is awarded to educational technologies that excel in innovation, accessibility and enhancing student learning experiences. Mathletics was recognized for its:
- Engaging and Personalized Learning: A gamified learning experience that tailors lessons to fit individual student needs.
- User-Friendly Interface for Educators: An intuitive, navigable user experience including instructional videos for educators and differentiation tools to simplify classroom management.
- Comprehensive Progress Tracking: A complete and comprehensive method for monitoring student progress via analytics and feedback.
"Teachers and administrators tell us every day that evidence of effectiveness is crucial," said Katy Pike, Chief Product Officer at 3P Learning. "These results underscore the ability of Mathletics to significantly improve math skills and effectively narrow the achievement gap. When educators provide students with engaging activities and motivating challenges, learning math becomes fun and rewarding—that's what leads to academic growth."
