The Impact of Standards-Based Mathematics Curriculum on Middle School Students Achievement on the WESTEST

Abstract Details

2008, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
Mathematics has become increasingly difficult for students to understand, make meaningful in their daily lives, and demonstrate competency in on standardized achievement tests. In attempt to remedy these situations, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics developed a new way of delivering mathematical concepts called standards-based mathematics. It was the hope of this researcher to find a positive impact on student achievement on the mathematics portion of the WESTEST by middle school students who were taught in a standards-based classroom. This researcher described sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students’ test scores from the 2004-2006 academic years in two suburban schools located in the northern panhandle of West Virginia, one this has developed a standards-based curriculum and one which teaches mathematics by use of a traditional curriculum.
