Impact of My Math Academy on Pre-K Students

This research report documents the efficacy of My Math Academy, a personalized learning program, in improving the mathematical readiness of pre-K students during the 2020–2021 school year, which was significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 976 prekindergarten students across 17 high-need schools in Harlingen, Texas, where 98 percent of students using the program regularly ended the school year 'On Track' in math on state assessments. The report outlines the challenges faced by educators and students during the pandemic, including the transition between remote and in-person learning. It details the Personalized Mastery Learning System™ used in My Math Academy, which adapts to individual learning needs and provides real-time insights for educators and parents. The findings indicate that students who engaged with the program demonstrated higher performance levels and greater interest in math, confirming earlier studies on its effectiveness. The report serves as a resource for educators seeking effective strategies to enhance early mathematics education.
