Fifty-two low performing schools were randomly assigned to receive Spatial-Temporal (ST) Math, a supplemental mathematics software and instructional program, in second/third or fourth/fifth grades or to a business-as-usual control. Analyses reveal [b]a negligible effect of ST Math on mathematics scores[/b], which did not differ significantly across subgroups defined by prior math proficiency and English Language Learner status. Two years of program treatment produced a [b]nonsignificant effect[/b]. Publication of evaluation results from large-scale real-world supplemental mathematics instructional implementations such as this one can provide a realistic view of the possibilities, costs, and limitations of this and other computer aided instruction supplemental interventions.[/quote]
