Supplemental information

SBIR Phase 1 Project

In this project, researchers iteratively developed a software-based prototype of a new formative assessment feature for VentureMap, a project-based curriculum that teaches middle and high school students algebra concepts by having them manage a fictional music company. VentureMap was a tool that had students apply algebra principles to keep their company functioning by having them track sales, cost, and profit data, come up with production plans to increase profits, and design 2- and 3-dimensional marketing and packaging materials.
