Description

MISSION: Reasoning Mind's mission is to provide a first-rate math education for every child. To achieve this, we offer an engaging online community that develops students' math knowledge and thinking skills, and we help schools and parents bring this to their children.

NEED:

18% of U.S. students lack basic mathematical proficiency in the fourth grade, as demonstrated on the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress). By eighth grade, that figure increases to 27%, and by 12th grade it is 36%. American students struggle significantly with mathematics once they begin Algebra, a course considered a gatekeeper to higher education. Without the proper foundation in elementary mathematics, this failure will only continue. Numerous studies confirm that the curricula used in our schools are not rigorous enough, teachers are not prepared to teach mathematics, and students are neither engaged nor excited by their mathematics classes.

SOLUTION:

Reasoning Mind is a transformative breakthrough – a scalable solution to the three most pressing problems in math education: curriculum quality, human capital, and student engagement,

ACHIEVEMENT GAP:

Reasoning Mind, a program that offers high-quality online mathematics curricula in tandem with intensive teacher professional development has shown tremendous potential for closing the US mathematics achievement gap.Using RM, the achievement gap has been closed for minority students with special needs, those with limited English prociency, and students identified as at-risk. In many cases these students even outperformed non-RM students without any risk factors.Rigorous independent evaluations have consistently conrmed that students on the RM System show higher levels of achievement than their non-RM peers.
