Math Software Proven to Help These Students

Get all your students up to speed and stop the ever-widening learning gap.

In a recent classroom study conducted by a professor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, FUNdamentallyMATH® achieved important, statistically significant results at the 95% confidence level. The 330 students in the study came from grades 3 through 6. North Carolina statewide end of grade examinations were used to measure their progress. Within the control group of students not using FUNdamentallyMATH, there was a 99.8% probability that the performance gap between white and African-American students would widen over time. However, the test group of African-American students who used FUNdamentallyMATH for at least ten hours during the school year showed the same degree of improvement as their white classmates.

The first step is to stop the ever-widening performance gap. Then we can work on closing it. FUNdamentallyMATH works!

FUNdamentallyMATH teaches serious math skills from the basics of 1+1 all the way through matrix algebra. It's easy to use, non-intimidating, and allows students to progress at their own pace without discouragement. Our product is perfect to use with "at risk," average, and gifted students.

I invite you to include FUNdamentallyMATH in your instructional program.

8th Grade FUNdamentallyMATH Algebra Study Results

Below is a summary of the exciting results from the 8th Grade.

FUNdamentallyMATH Algebra Study in terms of percentiles. The Test group used the software. The Control group did not. Confidence level means the probability that the results are due to the software and not due to chance. Raw scores are actual test scores before a translation into percentiles. 87,404 students took the State of North Carolina Algebra 1 examination during the 1998-99 school year.
