They had a group of 133 students, or test subjects, who were randomly divided into three groups. One group was the control group and received no tutoring and the other two groups each received a different type of tutoring. After 16 weeks of tutoring, they tested the students’ math skills to determine which students gained the most mathematical fluency.
