Research Summary

One RCT conducted over two years indicated that there was no statistically significant treatment effect between students in the Go Math! Group and control (business as usual) group. One pretest-posttest study with researcher-created testing measures indicated large effect sizes. No peer-reviewed research was found. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support this program at this time.
