Student Work

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of pacing and scheduling of algebra coursework on assigned 9th-grade students who traditionally would qualify for pre-algebra instruction and same course 9th-grade students who traditionally would qualify for standard algebra instruction. Students were selected based on completion of first-year algebra by the end of their 9th-grade year. This study will compare all students’ math EXPLORE test scores, PLAN test scores, algebra common summative assessments (CSAs), geometry CSAs, fall grade point averages (GPAs) and spring GPAs.
