Research Summary

In studies conducted by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Do The Math was found to have positive effects on multiplication and math vocabulary resulting in increased student percentile rankings. However, no peer-reviewed research was found. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support the efficacy of this program at this time.
