Math Declines of 9-11 Points from COVID Pandemic

 ​Update on learning deficits in the past year: student math achievement has declined 9 to 11 percentile points because of the COVID pandemic. According to a recently published study from the Center for School and Student Progress, student achievement in math was far lower than a typical year, as measured at the start of the current school year (2021-22).

Picture
Brick Math is the solution to the problem of declining math achievement. The program is the perfect way to jump-start math education.
​
Brick Math teaches K – 8th grade math using LEGO® bricks. Students model the math with bricks and develop deep understanding, not simply rote memorization.

Picture
​The Brick Math method has been shown to increase students’ math scores significantly.
Here’s how it works:
First, the student models a math problem with bricks. Next, the student draws the model to begin transferring the knowledge from concrete to abstract. Finally, the student explains their solution in words. This three-step process is what makes Brick Math so powerful and builds students’ true understanding of the underlying math.

​…Plus, it’s fun to learn with LEGO® bricks!
Picture
Brick Math is a K-6 math curriculum that uses LEGO® bricks to model  11 different math subjects: Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Basic Fractions,   Basic Measurement, Fraction Multiplication, Fraction Division, Advanced Measurement and Geometry, and Decimals. It works well for homeschooling, math intervention, enrichment, and as a whole-school program. Materials are simple and affordable.
