Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether after school math clubs would have an effect on Anne Arundel County Public Schools math benchmark scores. The measurement tool used was the AACPS Math Benchmark 1 and Benchmark 2 assessments. This study involved collecting data after Benchmark 1 and 2 were given to students in the test group. After analyzing the data, students were placed in the math club. The math club met once a week during which time students reviewed previous skills taught. The results showed no significant differences in benchmark scores after participating in an After School Math Club.
