Get the Math: Impact on Students’ Use of Algebra
Download ResourceTopics
Educators increasingly rely on education technology tools as they shift instruction, redefine teacher roles, and design learning experiences that reflect how students actually learn. Technology should never lead the design of learning. But when used intentionally, it can personalize instruction, enrich learning environments, and help students master critical skills.

An embedded assessment approach was used to evaluate the educational impact of Get the Math, a multimedia project that employs online videos and interactive, game-like challenges to engage middle and high school students in meaningful algebraic problem solving as they attempt to solve real-world problems involving mathematical content such as proportional reasoning, linear relationships, or quadratic functions.
