Are Math Grades Cyclical?

Adams, Gerald J.; Dial, Micah

Educational Research Quarterly, v22 n1 p3-12 Sep 1998

The cyclical nature of mathematics grades was studied for a cohort of elementary school students from a large metropolitan school district in Texas over six years (average cohort size of 8495). The study used an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. Results indicate that grades do exhibit a significant cyclical pattern. (SLD)
