COLUMBUS, Ohio — America’s next generation is failing to make the grade in math. Over the past two decades, researchers have been working to identify the best practices for math education, for students and teachers. Now, experts at The Ohio State University are using their research-backed evidence on what teachers and parents should do to build a solid foundation in mathematics.
“In 2019, only about one-fourth of high school seniors scored at or above the proficiency level in math. And all indications are that this has only gotten worse with the learning loss associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Nancy Krasa, an adjunct assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State, and co-author of a new book on math education, in a university release. “The scientific research on how children learn math has exploded in the past 20 years, with thousands of new studies focused on how children come to understand numbers and various other aspects of math.”
