Note: Standard errors clustered at school level (in parentheses). Mathematics teaching quality and number of math activities were measured using the COEMET. For each variable, scores were averaged from classroom observations in the kindergarten year. All models include controls for gender, ethnicity, age at preschool entry, mother’s education level, free or reduced price lunch status, special education status at preschool entry, whether limited English proficient, and indicators for blocking group at random assignment. The sample was restricted to students who had a non-missing classroom observation (COEMET) in kindergarten or first grade and who were non-missing on all preschool, kindergarten, and first grade mathematics measures. Analyses of outcomes based on classroom observation status available in Appendix F. Outcome measures are in standard deviation units.
