There are no physical samples of Zearn to review in the Robles library. As a non-profit, Zearn is not resourced to send physical samples of our Teacher and Student Editions the way other curriculum providers do. Instead, we provide login credentials and detailed guidance for accessing our materials within the Zearn digital platform. There, you can find all the content within our Teacher and Student Editions for all grades.
Here is a set of resources to support you and your team with your review:

Results and Impact:
Our newest impact studies include these two ESSA-qualifying studies below. As you read, you will notice that the studies show that consistent Zearn usage significantly increases BOTH math proficiency measured by state tests and in-year growth on interim assessments - for all students, in all subgroups and proficiency levels.
What’s interesting is that across studies, Zearn’s impact was the greatest for students scoring below grade-level when they completed grade-level content on Zearn. Students below grade-level who consistently used Zearn scored 2-3x higher than matched peers. These studies continue to prove that Zearn’s approach does in fact support all students to catch up and move forward, even students who are the farthest behind.
District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS): ESSA Tier 2 study analyzing Zearn impact on i-Ready diagnostic scores. DCPS students using Zearn gain an additional 11 weeks of math learning in one year, compared to matched peers. (Read study here)
Large urban district with 51% FRL students: ESSA Tier 2 study analyzing Zearn impact on 2022 state assessment scores. Students who consistently used Zearn Math grew an average of 1.3 grade levels in one year (compared to no growth for matched peers); students below standard gained 1.7 years of math learning (compared to a decline of 0.4 years for matched peers).
