Analyses of Eighth Grade Math Texts and Achievement (Evaluation Report). What Works Clearinghouse Detailed Study Report
What Works Clearinghouse
This evaluation was designed to compare student achievement scores of students enrolled in Saxon Algebra 1/2 classrooms (intervention group) with students enrolled in Scott-Foresman Mathematics classrooms (comparison group). Crawford and Raia conducted three analyses, but this study report focuses on the strongest analysis of the three and describes how Saxon Algebra 1/2 compared to the comparison text only for those teachers who taught both textbooks in a sample of students matched on pretest California Achievement Test (CAT) total math scores.
