A Randomized Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy of the NumberShire Level K Gaming Intervention for Improving Math Outcomes for Students With or At Risk for Mathematics Learning Disabilities

The purpose of this project is to test the efficacy of the NumberShire Level K (NSK) gaming intervention-previously developed through IES funding-for students with or at risk for mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). NSK is a supplemental technology-based tool to allow educators to intervene early and strategically to accelerate early math learning and prevent more costly remediation of math difficulties in the later grades for students with or at risk for MLD. In this study, researchers will explore student characteristics that may predict differential response to the NSK intervention and classroom level factors that may influence sustainability of NSK implementation. The study will provide invaluable information for further development of the NSK intervention and for school leaders and teachers to understand the program impact for kindergarten students with or at risk for MLD.
