Intervention Summary
Everyday Mathematics is a core curriculum for students in grades pre-K-6 that focuses on real-life problem solving, student communication of mathematical thinking, and appropriate use of technology. The curriculum provides students with multiple opportunities to reinforce concepts and practice skills, and it emphasizes balancing different types of instruction, using various methods for skills practice, and fostering parent involvement in student learning. Everyday Mathematics lessons use daily lesson plans that usually begin with a Math Message, which is the focus of the lesson, and combines teacher-led discussions and hands-on group and individual activities during the class. Students also keep a journal in which they write about mathematical concepts and work on homework assignments that are intended to reinforce practical experience with mathematics.

Data Sample by Population
These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.
The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
