Get the Math: Impact on Students’ Use of Algebra
Download ResourceTopics
Educators often take advantage of educational technologies as they make the shifts in instruction, teacher roles, and learning experiences that next gen learning requires. Technology should not lead the design of learning, but when educators use it to personalize and enrich learning, it has the potential to accelerate mastery of critical content and skills by all students.

An embedded assessment approach was used to evaluate the educational impact of Get the Math, a multimedia project that employs online videos and interactive, game-like challenges to engage middle and high school students in meaningful algebraic problem solving as they attempt to solve real-world problems involving mathematical content such as proportional reasoning, linear relationships, or quadratic functions.
