A new independent study of nearly 1,000 elementary students shows that Beast Academy Online significantly improves math achievement for high-ability learners. Students who used the platform just 25 minutes more per week scored substantially higher on year-end assessments.
Students who used Beast Academy gained 1-2 additional grade levels on their spring 2021 National MAP Assessment Scores, as compared to those who didn’t use Beast Academy, according to a recent WestEd study in Mankato Area Public Schools, a K–12 school district in Mankato, Minnesota.
Discrete math is often missing from middle and high school curricula. But in recent years, it’s become increasingly important because of what it teaches and how it sets students up for college math and beyond.
