Murphy  \nSRI International  \nCraig A. Mason  \nUniversity of Maine  \nIn a randomized field trial with 2,850 seventh-grade mathematics students, we evaluated whether an educational technology intervention increased mathematics learning. Assigning homework is common yet sometimes controversial. Building on prior research on formative assessment and adaptive teaching, we predicted that combining an online homework tool with teacher training could increase learning. The online tool ASSISTments (a) provides timely feedback and hints to students as they do homework and (b) gives teachers timely, organized information about students’work. To test this prediction, we analyzed data from 43 schools that participated in a random assignment experiment in Maine, a state that provides every seventh-grade student with a laptop to take home. Results showed that the intervention significantly increased student scores on an end-ofthe-year standardized mathematics assessment as compared with a control group that continued with existing homework practices. Students with low prior mathematics achievement benefited most. The intervention has potential for wider adoption.  \nKeywords: computers and learning, effect size, evaluation, experimental design, hierarchical linear modeling, homework, mathematics education, technology  \nfor most American middle school students and teachers, mathematics homework is a regular practice. Typically, a teacher assigns homework during class, and each student later completes the assigned math problems. The next day, the teacher reviews the answers in a full-class discussion. Students spend a considerable amount of time each week doing mathematics homework and reviewing homework in class. Given the stable school policies around homework (Loveless, 2014) and the meaningful amount of instructional time allocated to homework, we consider whether the impact of homework on learning might be increased.  \nThe purpose of mathematics homework is typically to provide practice for the student. Literature reviews and meta-analyses show generally positive or neutral effects for homework on learning (Cooper, Robinson, & Patall, 2006; Maltese, Robert, & fan, 2012) . Effects due to homework are more positive in middle and high school than elementary school (reflecting greater student maturity) and particularly for mathematics, which requires substantial individual practice (Eren & Henderson, 2011) . Parents and teachers understand the importance of practicing mathematics but sometimes disagree about the value of school homework policies. Indeed, popular media and books recurrently cover debates among parents and schools regarding homework  \n(e.g., Bennett & Kalish, 2006; Kohn, 2006; Shumaker, 2016; Wallis, 2006) . One prominent issue is that students may not receive timely feedback or help as they practice. Public discourse raises questions about whether homework increases learning, what kind of homework is more effective, and how homework may affect students’well-being (e.g., fernándezAlonso, Suárez-Álvarez, & Muñiz, 2015; Galloway & Pope, 2007) .  \nWe hypothesized that homework could be improved from the insights of research on formative assessment and related strategies (Black & Wiliam, 1998; Boston, 2002) . formative assessment involves using data from students’ independent work to give them helpful feedback and guidance while enabling the teacher to use the data to adjust instruction to meet students’ learning needs. frequent use of formative assessments can improve achievement, particularly when the results are used to adjust instruction (Bergan, Sladeczek, Schwarz, & Smith, 1991; Speece, Molloy, & Case, 2003) .
