I. Splash Math Pilot Proposal

Splash Math is a fun and engaging math program for K-5 kids. Splash

Math works on desktops, laptops, Chromebooks and iPads.

Currently, over 15 Million students and teachers from 1 in 4 schools

in US already use our products.

We are offering a free pilot program to your school. The pilot is

aimed at providing your school a free trial of all features of Splash

Math with zero cost and zero commitment!

The pilot would include full access to all features of Splash Math

School Premium valid till June 30, 2017.

Some of the key features include:

- Interactive math problems, standards-based curriculum for K through 5

- Teacher dashboard— intuitive classroom and student reports

- Easy to use administrator dashboard

- Individual login and password for each student

To ensure the success of the pilot, an account manager will help out with the

implementation of the program. At the end of the pilot, the school can choose to purchase

Splash Math for the rest of the school year if it fits into the curriculum requirements,

student needs and budget.

As the first step, we would set up accounts for all the teachers and students.

1. Name and email of teachers

2. Number of students you wish to enroll

3. Name and email of primary contact for school-wide

reports (Principal, Math Coach, etc.)

IV. Proven Efficacy

Splash Math has been proven effective in improving student results in math when used

consistently. A pilot study conducted by Strobel Consulting in the summer and fall of 2015

showed student gains to be statistically significant across all demographic groups. Key

outcomes of the study include:

• Average gain of 7.5 percentile points for students using Splash Math over the 5-8

weeks of the pilot study

• Using Splash Math according to the minimum requirements resulted in significantly

higher math gains (11.8% percentile points) than not meeting the requirements (0.4%

percentile points)

• Significant learning gains demonstrated across different demographics: females and

males, minorities and non-minorities, students receiving free/reduced lunch and those

not, and students at various ability and grade levels

• As expected,

students who

participated in the

pilot study for 8

weeks showed

greater learning

gains than those

who participated

in the 5 week pilot

• While not

statistically

significant, Splash Math students tended to outperform non-Splash Math students in

topics measuring the students’ ability to solve word and reasoning problems

• In a follow-up survey, participating teachers expressed satisfaction with Splash Math –

92% reported that students gained new skills and 77% saw a marked improvement in

math performance

• Quote from a 5th grade teacher involved in the study: “My students’ math skills have

improved because they are motivated to practice math on their own. On the last topic

test I gave, every one of my students passed with a ‘C’ or better. We’re a Title 1 school

and that has not happened since I’ve taught here!”

Built on a research-based Model

Splash Math was built with an underlying focus on the A.R.C.S. research model created by

Professor John Keller from Florida State University . Professor Keller found that Attention, 1

Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction are the four key factors of instructional design that

keep students highly engaged and motivated while stimulating and sustaining their desire

to learn. Splash Math utilizes these four factors to motivate kids and generate proven

results.

Attention (Perceptual and inquiry arousal and variability): Splash Math offers visually

appealing themes designed specifically for each grade level that keep students engaged.

With over 2,500 problem templates, students are constantly stimulated to keep them from

losing attention, unlike repetitive, static worksheets. An unlimited number of problems can

be generated that keeps students wanting to practice more math through visually

appealing content, constant animation, and engaging storylines.

Relevance (Goal orientation, motive matching, and familiarity): The Splash Math

adaptive engine and dynamic problem generator offers a self-paced learning platform.

Each problem adapts to the student’s skill level and increases in complexity with correct

answers. Diagnostic assessments create a targeted learning plan for each user with

adaptive algorithms and customized delivery of questions.

Confidence (Learning requirements, success opportunities, and personal control):

Through Common Core aligned curriculum, students master each concept by recalling

underlying concepts that intelligently adapt to the way each student learns. 80% of kids

have reported improved confidence in their math abilities.

Step-By-Step Problems to Ensure Conceptual Understanding and Competence

!

Satisfaction (Intrinsic reinforcement, extrinsic rewards, and equity): Splash Math offers

motivational rewards through games and interactive storylines. Students can compete with

classmates and collect rewards that keep them motivated to provide correct answers. This

satisfaction in results drives increased retention rates and keeps students engaged and

challenged.
