I. Splash Math Overview
It’s fun to learn to play the piano, to learn to play basketball, to learn to swim.
Why can’t it be fun to learn Math?
With above as the primary vision, StudyPad, Inc. offers a suite of premier math apps and
web-based products called Splash Math that are transforming the way children in grades
K-5 learn and study math through highly engaging, visually appealing, interactive games.
Splash Math reinforces key math skills with an interactive, self-paced, and adaptive format.
It is a complete cross-platform learning system with the ability to generate a nearly
unlimited number of problems, replacing static worksheets.
Using Splash Math, children significantly increase confidence and competence while
mastering key math skills through personalised math problems, motivational rewards,
games, and visually appealing content, adapted to the right level for each individual child.
Its proven effectiveness helps children approach math confidently and positively, and
ultimately excel as they grow. The Splash Math Engine collects over 1 billion data points
monthly to constantly generate new problems and continually improve the adaptive
engine.
“ Splash Math continues to challenge
even those learners that are ready to
move on.

III. 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!”
Splash Math followed it up with a year long Randomised Control Trial. Some of the notable
results from the year long study were—
• Students demonstrated significant math learning gains over the school year from pre to
post-testing as measured by the Iowa Form E test.
• Splash Math Subgroups showed statistically significant learning gains especially,
minorities and non-minorities, students receiving free/reduced lunch and those not,
limited English Proficient students.

(855) 979 8948 (toll free)Boost Confidence , Increase Scores, Get Ahead 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, 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. sales@splashmath.com !12 (855) 979 8948 (toll free)

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.
