From Here to There: Preparing an Effective Game-Based Algebra Intervention for Scale
Most students in the United States take Algebra 1 in middle or high school, with success in this subject being one of the strongest predictors for success in school and future careers. Yet, many students struggle to progress beyond Algebra 1. Through a prior IES award, researchers created From Here to There (FH2T), a supplemental game to accelerate algebra learning. While efficacy research during a subsequent IES award demonstrates the efficacy of FH2T for improving algebra learning, the gam...

Graspable Math Activities: Increasing Algebra Proficiency with Dynamic Notation Technology
In this project, the team will fully develop and test a web-based product that provides real-time feedback as students engage in Algebra I and II exercises. This product will complement an interactive touch-based Algebra application developed with prior IES funding. Success in algebra relates to eventual college graduation rates and employment earnings, yet few students reach an advanced understanding of algebraic notation.
