After Two Years, Three Elementary Math Curricula Outperform a Fourth

Title:	After Two Years, Three Elementary Math Curricula Outperform a Fourth
Description:	The purpose of this report is to generate hypotheses for future research. The pattern of relationships between instructional patterns and student achievement is largely consistent with earlier research, but not in every case. Results that are less consistent with earlier research include lower achievement associated with: higher frequency of teachers eliciting multiple strategies and solutions; higher frequency of prompting a student to lead the class in a routine; and higher frequency of students asking each other questions.
