- 4th grader enrolled in a public school in the western region of the US
- Diagnosis of ADD
- He had previously enrolled in Fit Reading during Kindergarten and 1st grade.
- Currently performing at the advanced level in reading and writing skills
- Parents were concerned about the quality of math instruction being provided by his local public school.
- A Math assessment was conducted to identify fluency deficits in core numeracy, computation and fractions skills.
- Results indicated that Harry was below fluency on a majority of the core math skills assessed.
- Results indicated that Harry was performing at the 24th percentile on a standard assessment of math computation.
- Results indicated that Harry was performing at a higher level (i.e., 84th percentile) on a standard assessment of language-based math skills.
- Following a 40-hour enrollment in Fit Math:
- Harry achieved fluency on 131 foundational math skills.
- He improved from the 24th to the 69th percentile on a 4th-grade-level standard assessment of math computation.
- He also scored in the 52nd percentile on a 5th-grade-level standard assessment of math computation.
- Together, these results indicate that he achieved more than one grade-level of growth on math computation skills.
- Harry was performing above his current grade level on computation after a 40-hour Fit Math enrollment.
- Harry improved from the 81st to the 91st percentile on a 4th-grade-level standard assessment of language-based math skills.
- He also scored in the 96th percentile on a 5th-grade-level standard assessment of language-based math skills.
- Together, these results indicate one grade-level of growth in language-based math skills.
- Harry was performing above his current grade level on language-based math after a 40-hour Fit Math enrollment.
- The figures above reflect Harry’s gains on weekly math assessments during his enrollment and on his 40-hour re-assessment.
