The Building Blocks program follows the mathematics learning trajectories, a sequence of learning activities that are aligned with the typical progression of how children learn mathematics.  \ninstruction, center activities, and computer activities, as well as activities for the children’s families to do at home to support classroom learning. Teachers’ use of the Building Blocks curriculum is supported by professional development.  \nThe What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) reviews existing research on educational interventions to identify evidence-based programs and practices. This WWC intervention report summarizes the available evidence on the effects of Building Blocks used in preschool sites on student outcomes.  \nDid Building Blocks improve student outcomes?  \nThree studies of the Building Blocks program meet WWC standards. Findings from these studies are summarized in Table 1. The table includes a row for the outcome domain that was studied in the research. An outcome domain includes a group of related outcome measures. The Building Blocks studies included one mathematics outcome measure that fits within the mathematics domain. Effects of the program on other outcome domains are unknown.  \nThe WWC effectiveness rating indicates whether the Building Blocks program resulted in improved outcomes for children assigned to receive the program compared with children who were not. The table also indicates whether the evidence reviewed satisfies the Department of Education’s requirements for strong, moderate, or promising tiers of evidence at the time this report was written. More information about these ratings and requirements is provided on the next page. Findingsand conclusions could change as new research becomes available.  \nTable 1.
