ESSA Tier 2 Study Reveals Frax Boosts Math Achievement
Students who used Frax had statistically more significant gains in i-Ready math scores than non-users. Regardless of their fall achievement level, Frax users had a higher likelihood of reaching growth benchmarks, a higher percentage of expected growth, and a higher likelihood of reaching grade-level proficiency by spring assessment.

Research Report
Frax and Reflex power math achievement gains.
In a large suburban Florida school district, students who used Reflex and Frax had statistically more significant math score gains in i-Ready compared to non-users. Across all students, Reflex and Frax users were 60% more likely to meet or exceed typical growth goals and 2x more likely to meet or exceed aspirational stretch growth goals.

Frax helps academically at-risk students reach grade-level proficiency.
Explore Learning contracted with LearnPlatform, a third-party Edtech research company, to examine the relationship between student usage of Frax and learning outcomes. LearnPlatform designed the study to satisfy Level III requirements (Promising Evidence) according to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
The study found more Frax usage was significantly related to higher math achievement. Importantly, this relationship was also found among academically at-risk students and students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Frax significantly improves fractions knowledge and confidence.
A survey of over 300 teachers using Frax found that 99.7% saw improvement in student learning and engagement because of Frax, with even more significant improvements in schools reported as having low standardized test scores.

“Frax is by far the best program I have seen for fractions. Even the kids who experience math challenges seem to ‘get’ fractions. Now, when any fraction related math comes up in our lessons, they all seem to know the correct answer!”
- Frax Teacher, Cloquet Independent School District 94, MN"I use Frax in my classes. On our mid-year screener, my students outperformed the other 3rd grade classes that don’t use Frax. My two classes’ average point increase was double that of the other five classes."
- Frax Teacher, Liberty Hill Independent School District, TX"My kids absolutely love Frax! Their abilities vary, but ALL my students feel success with Frax. They have a much better grasp on fractions overall and it has really made a difference in what we are able to do in class."
- Frax Teacher, Redwood Preparatory Charter School, CA"My students are super sad that there are only 27 missions in Frax Sector 1. They are literally begging to do more fraction work! One student who usually struggles with math concepts completed all of the missions and is now getting A’s in math instead of C’s."
- Frax Teacher, Greenville Co School District, SC"My students LOVE Frax! They now regularly say things like ‘Well I know that 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2...’ or ‘I know that 3/6 = 1/2...’, which were not things they were saying before working on Frax. The improvement in their fraction fluency has been noticeable."
