showed a statistically significant positive effect. Based on the four studies considered, the WWC gave
Everyday Math a rating of "Potentially Positive Effect" with the four studies showing a mean improvement in elementary math achievement (versus unspecified alternative programs) of 6 percentile rank points with a range of -7 to +14 percentile rank points, on a scale from -50 to +50.

What Works
Clearinghouse ( or WWC ) reviewed the evidence in support of the Everyday Mathematics program. Of the 61 pieces of evidence submitted by the publisher, 57 did not meet the WWC minimum standards for scientific evidence, four met evidence standards with reservations, and one of those four

California textbook lists until 2007 when the publisher released a California version of the 3rd edition that is supplemented with more traditional arithmetic, reigniting debate at the local level. In late 2007, the Texas

curriculum was developed by the
University of Chicago School Math Project (or UCSMP ) which was founded in 1983. Work on it started in the summer of 1985. The 1st edition was released in 1998 and the 2nd in 2002. A third edition was released in 2007 and a fourth in 2014-2015.

Interpretation: An average (50th percentile rank) student taught with
Everyday Math could be expected to perform on average as well on the measurements used in the various studies as a student in one of the comparison programs performing at the 56th percentile

After the first edition was released, it became part of a nationwide controversy over reform mathematics. In
