Program Description

"Corrective Mathematics is a remedial system that solves a wide range of problems for struggling older students, even if they have failed with other approaches. Explicit, step-by-step lessons are grouped into separate modules that may be taught separately or concurrently to customize instruction for particular student needs."

Research Summary

A literature review revealed two studies with small groups of participants that demonstrated modest gains across multiple math areas. Due to the limited peer-reviewed research, there is insufficient evidence on this program's efficacy at this time.
