Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in afterschool math tutoring program would positively enhance the performance of selected 2nd graders invited to participate. The measurement tool used was the Benchmark Assessment. This study involved the use of a pretest and posttest to compare data from the winter of 2010 (before the intervention was administered) to data from Spring 2011 (after the intervention was completed). There were no statistically significant findings.
