The purpose of this project is to conduct a meta-analysis of group-design mathematics interventions targeting foundational whole number concepts, with a focus on children with and at risk for disabilities and mathematics difficulty in prekindergarten (preK) through grade 1. Specifically, the research team aims to identify differences in the effectiveness of such interventions for typically achieving (TA) students and students at risk for mathematics difficulty (MD) as well as the factors tha...

The purpose of this project is to test the efficacy of the Promoting Algebra Readiness (PAR) intervention, a Tier 2 mathematics intervention. Preliminary evidence has shown that PAR increases the mathematics achievement of sixth grade students with mathematics difficulties (MD). In this project, the research team will examine the impact of PAR on students identified as with MLD (mathematics learning disabilities) or MD, measuring the immediate and long-term student mathematics outcomes and e...
