Studies suggest summer learning gains with DoodleMath
Examining the impact of summer break engagement
Performance increases with math app usage
Degrees of improvement in math performance across usage groups
Degrees of improvement in math performance across usage groups
Findings suggest positive impact of summer break engagement
Two summer studies investigated the effects of our math app, DoodleMath, on 10-year-old learners’ mathematical performance over the summer.
Study 1 examined the result of different levels of voluntary engagement with the app on knowledge gains and whether socioeconomic status and attitudes towards math impacted those effects.
Study 2 followed a similar procedure but randomly allocated participants to an experimental (app access) or a control condition (no app access).

Both studies show that students who used DoodleMath over the summer greatly improved their mathematics performance.
There were significant differences in pre- and post-test scores* among participants who used the app over the summer compared to those who did not use the app.

*While post-test scores among Study 1 participants in the no use group were lower than their pre-test scores, this was not found to be significant.
There was significant improvement among high-use participants compared with those who did not use the app.

Similar to study 1, there was also improvement among participants in the Math App group compared with those who did not have access to the app.
Click Next to see student ratings of DoodleMath on measures of intrinsic motivation.
Measures of intrinsic motivation were rated high across usage groups in both studies. Participants with summer access to the app rated DoodleMath high on interest, perceived choice, and perceived competence.
Additionally, study 1 found no relationship in app usage or math performance and socioeconomic status.
Taken together, the findings are encouraging and suggest the app’s beneficial impact on summer learning loss.

Awards and recognition
Teaching with evidence, learning by design
DoodleMath is built upon a theory of action about how best to enhance the K-5 learning experience in mathematics. A theory of action is a collection of statements that hypothesize how intentional actions will result in change, based on insights from existing research. Our theory of action statements describe the philosophical foundation underpinning our approach to mathematics education. At the core of this model are four essential components, or domains, of high-quality teaching and learning in elementary mathematics.
- Domain 1: Accessing prior knowledge
- Domain 2: Constructing new knowledge in mathematics
- Domain 3: Building reasoning in mathematics
- Domain 4: Connecting math concepts to daily lives
Based on this theory of action, DoodleLearning produced a logic model that serves as a conceptual map for the DoodleMath learning app.
Meeting evidence-based standards & funding goals
DoodleMath meets the rigorous evidence-based standards defined in ESSA — meeting Tier IV evidence criteria for federal requirements— and is aligned to the funding goals outlined in the CARES, CRSSA, and American Rescue Plan legislation. Original content undergoes independent evaluation to confirm best practices in curriculum design and integrity.
