مستخلص: Despite the surge in efficacy studies, the relative effectiveness of any two math interventions is largely unknown and replications are rare. To ensure that students benefit from high-quality learning experiences, the current conceptual replication of Wang and Woodworth, a randomized control trial, evaluated the relative impacts of two computer programs used in a school district as supplements to students' regular education math instruction, DreamBox Learning and Zearn Math. For 115 students in kindergarten and first grade, data were collected before and after an 11-week implementation period. Measures of effect size, but not null hypothesis statistical tests, suggested that participants in the DreamBox condition had higher test scores on posttest numeracy and geometry (Hedges g = 0.32 and 0.14). There was also a statistically significant group by pretest interaction, evidence of "Matthew Effects" for numeracy. Although some support for adopting DreamBox as a supplemental method for improving math competencies of students in early elementary school was provided, more research is needed as the true effect may be smaller than what the present study reports. The study's implications are discussed.
