Research and Success for Everyday Mathematics:
A KʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ“6 Math Curriculum
The University of Chicago Mathematics Project
Everyday Mathematics is developed by ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ researchers at the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP). This group is dedicated to helping children learn mathematics using a research-based approach.
Everyday Mathematics is the most research-grounded and field-tested elementary mathematics program available today.
- When the program was developed, each lesson was field tested at each grade for a full year
- 800+ ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ participated in field testing 170 lessons
- Open Response problems, as well as Open Response and Reengagement Lessons were field tested by 1,400+ ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ
Maximizing Achievement with Everyday Mathematics
Everyday Mathematics is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education What Works Clearinghouse as the most effective core elementary mathematics program in the country. Hear from educators using the program how it has impacted ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ in their schools.
Success for Everyday Mathematics
Success Stories
There is no better evidence of the programʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ™s effectiveness than the children with increased confidence and excitement about math which has led to gains in achievement across the country.
Achievement results have shown that ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ are succeeding, with more ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ now testing proficient or advanced than ever before.
North Kansas elementary schools have seen a significant increase in math scores across every group, including Free & Reduced Lunch.
Students using Everyday Mathematics performed well above the Nevada average on the 2017 SBAC.

White Papers
Development of each version of Everyday Mathematics begins with a research phase during which the authors review the most current research available related to how children learn. These white papers summarize some of the research behind the program.
Testimonials
Student Learning
More ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ are enjoying math. They are learning in a fun way instead of just opening up a book and memorizing facts.
Everyday Mathematics really brought to light the process of learning math and not just the end-result...our kids are much better problem solvers than they were before.
Everyday Mathematics 4 is much heavier in reading and writing. They have fewer problems to solve and a lot more explaining to do about their thinking.
Performance and Results
The results that weʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ™ve seen in our achievement scores are really strong. Every group within our demographics is reaping the benefits.
Across the board, our math scores are the highest theyʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ™ve ever been.
IʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ™m seeing a big difference in student performance since we started using Everyday Mathematics. Students have a better understanding of not just what the answer is, but why the answer is what it is.
Alignment to Standards
Teachers really like that they can work on a standard, then later, the same standard will come up for ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ to developmentally process and learn.
We now have the opportunity to have fewer lessons, go more in-depth with the lessons we do, and really focus on the standards.
We're extremely happy that Everyday Mathematics 4 now has a line to the Common Core. It provides a much clearer pathway for teachers and ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ to do the lesson components, in terms of how concepts are introduced.
Support for Everyone
Everyday Mathematics offers clear-cut guidance for teachers, whether youʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ™re a first-year teacher or have 20 years of experience.
It gives parents information so they can better help their children.
Everyday Mathematics is a research-based program that gives ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ the strong mathematical foundation they need as they grow older.
Efficacy
McGraw Hill works tirelessly to ensure that our programs demonstrate positive effects across settings and with a variety of relevant ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æal outcomes. Our approach to evidence-based research and efficacy recognizes the value of smaller studies of program pilots and first-year implementations as well as larger experimental studies. The focus of all our research is to propel learners toward higher levels of achievement. Although it is important that our programs can demonstrate effectiveness in highly-controlled lab-like settings, our goal is to ensure that they work for real teachers in real-life situations under standard implementation conditions.
Our commitment to research includes working with world-class academics and practitioners in ʯÁñÊÓƵ»ÆÉ«°æ to help design, develop, and validate instructional models that are based on current scholarship, establish efficacy, and support effective teaching and learning.
Everyday Mathematics is committed to continuously improving the instructional quality and academic integrity of program materials.
