| Description: |
Core-Plus Mathematics is a four-year curriculum meant to replace the traditional mathematics program. Courses integrate strands of algebra and functions, statistics and probability, geometry and trigonometry, and discrete mathematics. The WWC reviewed 17 studies that investigated the effects of Core-Plus Mathematics on high school students. One study meets WWC evidence standards with reservations. This study included 1,050 high school students in 11 schools in multiple states. Based on its review of the research, the WWC found Core-Plus Mathematics to have potentially positive effects on mathematics achievement for high school students. |
