Homeschooling in California presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to subjects like mathematics. During the school year, when staying indoors is more common, it's an ideal time for parents to focus on strengthening their children's math skills. Click here for more: https://lnkd.in/eRZMiv3Y

Less than half, or 47% of high school students, report that they tend to work on interesting problems in their math classes. While nearly a quarter of students say they never or rarely work on interesting problems in math. Moreover, less than half of students, just 46% percent, are comfortable asking questions in their math class when they need help. A full quarter, 26%, report that they are rarely or never comfortable speaking up in math. More about high school students' math identity and learning patterns can be found in our newest report: https://lnkd.in/gtuD9zCu

This new report by Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University and The Educational Opportunity Project (EOP) at Stanford University reveals data showing that elementary and middle school students recovered about one-third of the original loss in math and one-quarter of the loss in reading. While these gains are historic, the researchers found that students are still not where they should be. Learn what steps researchers recommend schools take, including informing parents if their child is below grade level in math or reading. #LiteracyGains #K12Education

Are you a teacher or school board administrator looking for help explaining why the math you teach students is important to them as then grow into young adults? Are you looking for the explanation for yourself? Well then Integrity For Math has the answers! Practically, math teaches us how to recognize patterns, think logically in steps, to combine rules and basic information to draw conclusions. Beyond the practicality, the mental effort required to understand concepts and solve problems builds up our brain to better our reasoning and thinking capabilities. Something we will need our whole lives! If you want to learn more, or partner your school with Integrity For Math for seminars, go to our contact page on our website, or message us on X, at IntegrityForMath! #Education #Math #Learning

New research shines a spotlight on the true game-changer in college math success: the faculty itself. A recent study found that instructors' instructional and assessment practices, particularly those offering more chances for students to demonstrate understanding and personalized feedback, significantly boost pass rates in gateway math courses, and reduce racial disparities in math course outcomes. The study emphasizes the need for strong support systems for faculty. This includes professional development opportunities to help them implement research-backed assessment practices, as well as creating a culture that encourages collaboration and sharing of best practices among instructors. The study also recommends putting faculty at the center in research, policy, and practice work. The research analyzed data from over 22,000 students across 704 gateway math courses at four California community colleges. Want to see the full report and dive deeper into the data?
