What Works Clearinghouse: Middle School Math Curricula

The What Works Clearninghouse was established by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences "to provide educators, policy-makers, researchers, and the public with a central and trusted source of scientific evidence of what works in education." The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) has posted the results from its review of “interventions based on a curriculum, which contain learning goals that spell out the mathematics that students should know and be able to do, instructional programs and materials that organize the mathematical content, and assessments.” The reviews are organized into three WWC Topic Reports that cover interventions for middle school mathematics, elementary school mathematics, and high school mathematics. As of this report, the organization has published findings from its review of 77 studies of middle school mathematics interventions. For each intervention with at least one study that "Meets Evidence Standards" or "Meets Evidence Standards with Reservations," the site provides a short review of the study and the findings. The site notes that, “intervention reports are one component of the decision-making process, but should not be the sole source of information when making educational decisions.”
