     To ensure that Happy Numbers equips each student to succeed and have the best experience possible, we continually track the efficacy of our personalized instruction and assessment system at all stages. Based on the results of this research, we fine-tune the Happy Numbers platform to provide optimal instruction and reliable outcomes for your students.

    The 2021-2022 findings meet ESSA Level III (Promising Evidence) requirements, as they demonstrate a positive and statistically significant relationship between Happy Numbers usage and end-of-year math scores among kindergarten and first-grade students. Moreover, students who completed the number of tasks aligned with Happy Numbers recommendations had the largest effect size compared to those who used Happy Numbers the least.
