Abstract

The aim for this research is to improve the mathematical abilities of young children through the internet-based program i-ready. The relevance of these comprehension skills for elementary school students is imperative. The abilities of these students to interpret these mathematical theories and acknowledge the systematic approaches affiliated with the processing of these essential ideologies are significantly improved with the use of mathematical coaching. These students can utilize these comprehensive skillsets to decipher shapes, patterns, and numbers, while offering them a means of processing this information and assisting them with their cognitive development. The process from which the data was collected is through an observational online assessment tool i-ready. This software tracks and records the student’s mathematic benchmarks. These benchmarks are the i-ready software’s mechanism for highlighting the importance of analyzing student data to increase comprehension levels. This formative assessment was used to measure these students’ comprehension, and with the assistance of analytical data, there was a strong correlation between statistical analysis and increased comprehension levels. This statistical analysis was verified with the assistance of both quantitative and qualitative inputs. This research will display that with the use of the i-ready software, as a problem-solving technique, the student’s mathematical deficiencies could significantly decrease.
