Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
Both RCT studies analyzed during the literature review reported statistically significant effect sizes in fraction skills for the Fraction Face-Off! group compared to control groups. However, it should be noted that WWC reviewed one of the two RCT studies and cautioned that the group comparison did not meet WWC evidence standards because the groups were not equivalent at baseline.
