HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE STUDIES

During the 2020-21 academic year, a public school district in Texas implemented Imagine Math with students in Grades 1-9. Imagine Learning obtained and analyzed Renaissance Star Math^® test scores from more than 16,000 Imagine Math students and from a comparison group of students who were matched on their Fall 2020 Renaissance Star Math scaled score, race/ethnicity, and gender. Findings from the study show that after one year using Imagine Math, students demonstrated significantly greater gains on the Renaissance Star Math assessment than their nonparticipating peers. Additionally, the percentage of Imagine Math students reaching Proficient on the Renaissance Star Math assessment was greater than that of the matched non-user group.
During the 2020-21 academic year, a national network of charter schools implemented Imagine Math with 3,048 students in Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Imagine Learning analyzed Fall 2020 to Spring 2021 NWEA MAP Growth Math data among those Imagine Math students compared to a statistically matched group of 3,068 program non-users who were demographically and academically similar. Overall, findings from the study showed that the students who used Imagine Math demonstrated a significantly greater growth rate from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021 than non-users.
