Everyday Mathematics is a popular reform and research-based program that is currently
being used in my district. It is not a complete math program however, and some
struggling students are being left out. This project examines 20 fifth grade girls and boys,
ages eleven to twelve year-old students from Waterford, Wisconsin. It asks the question
of whether small group and individual instruction with the teacher combined with
additional parental information will improve students' attitude toward mathematics and
their knowledge. This project provides resources to add to current Everyday Mathematics
instruction. Everyday Mathematics unit tests and student surveys were the assessment
pieces for this project. While working with small groups and individuals the project did
find that students receiving additional support as a group gained more knowledge. Strives
were also made in students becoming successful advocates for their own learning.
