— 4th grade student
In 2018, schools located in Kansas, Alabama, New York and Texas participated in a Van Robotics efficacy study to evaluate how much ABii helped students gain math proficiency. Average pre-test scores for standards-aligned fractions and word problems was just 45% among students testing below proficiency.
Students made impressive gains. 67% of students that tested below proficient, averaged 34% improvement on post-tests or a 79% average score, after just 2-3 sessions with ABii.
