The ByExample line of research has been conducted in collaboration with the Strategic Education Research Partnership since 2007. During that time, Dr. Booth and members of the Stem Learning Lab have collaborated closely with mathematics teachers all over the United States to develop and test sets of practice assignments that incorporate correct and incorrect examples for students to study and explain. Materials from AlgebraByExample and MathByExample are freely available to download. GeometryByExample materials are currently undergoing evaluation for effectiveness in U.S. classrooms. Stay tuned!
