Purpose/Abstract

Early grades represent a critical time in students’ development of foundational skills for academic success and beyond.

While state learning assessments typically do not begin until third grade, data on student outcomes during early grades are limited.

This study, authored by Hiroyuki Yamada, explored trends in mathematics outcomes for students who entered first grade in fall 2021 from a national sample of over 6,000 schools.

These students participated in Curriculum Associates’ i-Ready Diagnostic for Mathematics, a web-based adaptive interim assessment tool designed to measure four domains of mathematical skills.
