Abstract: With increasing pressure on schools to boost students' math scores post-pandemic, this study investigates the impact of a tech-enhanced formative assessment that incorporates the instruction of strategic thinking in math to foster learning. Employing mixed methods, the impact of a one-year implementation of Classtime on state test scores was examined for third to sixth-grade students. Results indicate significant growth with Classtime, surpassing both non-Classtime schools and previous grade-level cohorts within the same school. Third- and fourth-grade students used Classtime the most and exhibited the most pronounced improvement. High Usage classrooms saw double the gains of Low Usage classrooms year over year. These findings highlight Classtime's efficacy in enhancing student outcomes and underscore the importance of consistency with formative assessment tools to support math proficiency among elementary students. [This research was supported by Classtime and conducted in partnership with the school district.]
