In 2003, researchers from the Developmental Studies Center conducted an evaluation study of the AfterSchool KidzMath™ program. Six after-school sites in the San Francisco Bay Area were involved and four methods of data collection were used in the study.

Staff reported that the children at their sites:

• Improved their level of mathematics skill and understanding
• Were helped by the program to feel more positive about mathematics
• Enjoyed the games and story guide activities
• Deepened their engagement with the games and activities over time
• Improved their relationships with each other

A large-scale comparison evaluation of the program is currently being conducted at 44 sites affiliated with Sacramento START.
