No studies of MathThematics that fall within the scope of the Middle School Math review meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of MathThematics.
MathThematics is a mathematics curriculum for grades 6 through 8 that combines activity-based, discovery learning with direct instruction. The textbook for each grade level has eight instructional modules, with each module focused on a theme.
Open-ended questions and projects are utilized throughout the curriculum to assess problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate mathematically.
The WWC identified seven studies of MathThematics that were published or released between 1983 and 2008. |

Five studies are within the scope of the review and have an eligible design, but do not meet WWC evidence standards.
One study is out of the scope of the review because the study does not use a comparison group. One study is out of the scope of the review, as defined by the Middle School Math protocol, because the study does not include math achievement as an outcome. |
