Students at American public schools struggled in math during distant learning. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) is a math and reading test given to fourth and eighth grade students in public schools around the country. Results from this year showed students’ scores had the largest decreases in math since 1990, when the test was first released.
All areas of the U.S. reported lower test scores in math. More than one⁃third of students scored below basic levels. The decreases were also more severe in math than in reading.
“There has been a lot of evidence showing that students struggled with remote learning,especially in math,” said Frances Anderson, an education researcher and a former teacher. Her work centers on math ability. She said that students, who are not as skilled in math, need more face⁃to⁃face learning. Anderson said during remote learning, “Teachers didn’t have as many ways to keep students engaged. It was difficult to do hands⁃on activities and project⁃based learning, which are better for students who struggle in math.” She added that a lot teaching math is visual learning. “You need so much more than one screen,” she said.
Heather Hill, a professor at Harvard University’s school of education, spoke on Harvard University’s education podcast about the NAEP results. Hill said a lot of reading skills are developed in the home, in addition to school. Kids can read books on the Internet at home, or read text messages from friends, for example. But there are fewer ways for kids to work on math skills outside of the classroom. “School is the only place where kids, for the most part, learn math,” Hill said.
