Abstract

This research brief describes preliminary results from our study of Skew The Script (STS), a nonprofit organization working to increase math achievement by creating “genuinely relevant math lessons.” STS develops lesson plans, materials, and assignments built around practical applications that match high school students’ interests—like online dating, health care, elections, sports, and social media influencers—and offers those materials for free to teachers.
