AZ Math Momentum
Boosting Math Performance
Math Momentum is an Arizona school math intervention program designed by ASU and the Arizona Department of Education to address math challenges faced by students in grades 5-9.
The program is designed to improve math mindsets and boost the math and digital literacy skills of students using data-driven interventions.
Statewide Impact via Math Momentum
By year two of the Math Momentum math intervention program, the Exact Path Diagnostic revealed the following results for students who remained in the program for the school year:
- 88% of students in rural settings maintained or grew their overall math proficiency level
- 93% of students in urban settings maintained or grew their overall math proficiency level
- Every grade level exceeded Exact Path beginning-year to end-year growth goals
Partnering With Arizona Schools
The math intervention program provides any Arizona public school grades 5–9 with access to high quality math certified teachers and curriculum. Whether you have a qualified teacher that needs support, or you need a certified math teacher of record, ASU Prep Digital can customize a program to fill the gaps.
Schools are responsible for providing the following:
- On-site learning facilitator(s) in the classroom(s)
- Technology and internet access for students
- Weekly interaction between on-site facilitator(s) and ASU Prep teachers
“Math Momentum, so far, has allowed me to help students set progress goals and give them an additional outlet to gain clarity on their math lessons. The additional support is allowing them to build successful habits which foster more engagement in class, as well as helping them develop increased confidence in their foundational math and problem solving skills.”
