ABSTRACT

A joint appointment Mathematics & Computer Science and Educational Studies Departments assistant professor and an elementary education teacher/adjunct professor collaborate on assessing students' mathematics knowledge through technology. The classroom teacher is completing action research in her own grade 2 classroom. The teacher assessed her students using the STAR Mathematics assessment during the fall screening and midyear for potential score gains, established intervention groupings, and analyzed potential student growth. She utilized software programs, Reflex Math and Prodigy, to strategically target fluency and conceptual math content for her students. This paper analyzes the progress of her students to date.
