Brief Description
This project involves a multisite cluster-randomized trial involving four different treatment conditions: Lesson study with fractions resource kits, lesson study without fractions resource kits, individual study of fractions resources without lesson study, and no-lesson study on fractions with business-as-usual fractions instruction. The project will result in evaluation reports concerning the impact and implementation of lesson study with fractions resource kits.
Support
This project is supported by a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.
