Background

In winter 2022-2023, WestEd and Accelerate Learning co-created a survey to gather feedback for improving Math Nation. The survey focused on teacher and school demographics, Math Nation usage, and teachers' perceptions of its benefits for students and educators. It also asked teachers to identify the most effective tools for improving student success and the primary reasons for using Math Nation.
