New research shows that Brick Math: Teaching Math Using LEGO® Bricks is very successful as an elementary math teaching tool. Two important findings emerged from this study: 
     1. Students make dramatic improvements in test scores
     2. Students are highly engaged with the Brick Math method of learning

The research confirms that when students are engaged with the material, they are more likely to learn it fully. And students are fully engaged with the hands-on Brick Math program.
 
Here's what the study showed:
1,400 K-5 students in North Carolina and New Jersey were taught using Brick Math in these six content areas:
  • Counting and Cardinality                       
  • Addition                                   
  • Subtraction                                   
  • Multiplication                                   
  • Division                                   
  • Basic Fractions
Students were given a 10-question assessment before implementing the Brick Math program, and then given a 10-question assessment following instruction. 77% of the students improved from 4 to 6 points on the 10-point scale. In addition, 91% of the students were highly engaged with the Brick Math curriculum being taught (44 or higher on a scale of 0-50). The study also showed that the more engaged students were, the higher were their gains from pre-test to post-test.
 
The results: Brick Math engages students fully, and it achieves powerful learning growth! Click here to read more about the results of studies of the Brick Math curriculum.
