EFFICACY

Research-driven design, exceptional outcomes

Clear Math Elementary evolved from a central question: What if we designed math instruction to work with how children naturally learn—honoring their innate curiosity and problem-solving abilities instead of fighting against them?

To find the answer, Education Development Center (EDC), a research organization specializing in learning science, spent four years studying diverse classrooms and created Think Math! 

Clear Math Elementary builds on this proven foundation. The results speak for themselves: in a 2004-2006 research study, students gained 4.9 months of additional learning per year, exceeding national expectations by up to 41%.
