In an initial pilot, <strong>HELP</strong> Math <em>Numbers Make Sense</em> lessons were tested by an independent researcher (Dr. Tran) with funding from the Colorado Department of Education. The tests used a randomized pre-post, two-group (treatment, control) design. The results of the evaluation (white paper available) clearly demonstrate that <strong>HELP</strong> is an effective tool in increasing ELLs’ math ability.\r\n\r\nResearch shows that students’ quick mastery of the program contributes to increased self-esteem and an increase in perceived ability to learn math. Teachers observed that <strong>HELP</strong> Math lessons captured their students’ attention (students stay on task for about 30 minutes per sitting). Teachers also liked that the program was easy to use and believed that it can increase their ability to provide individualized instruction to their students.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>HELP </strong>Math program was awarded a large multi-year U.S. Department of Education grant to further research and develop the program. University of Colorado research uses an experimental model involving approximately 1,000 students across five states: Texas, California, New York, Oregon and Colorado.
