Abstract: Building on prior efficacy research conducted by learning scientists at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) (Chan et al., 2022; Decker-Woodrow et al., 2023), Digital Promise facilitated a Research-Practice-Industry Partnership (RPIP) and confirmatory study to explore the usability, feasibility, and scalability of FH2T. Specifically, the research goal of this study was to understand 1) if and how FH2T could be implemented at scale, and 2) how digital tools can be used to democratize complex mathematical concepts for students. For this project, Digital Promise brought together algebra educators from a range of classroom contexts, product developers from Graspable Math, and learning scientists from both WPI and Digital Promise in a series of professional learning, co-design, and research activities. Each group contributed to the RPIP by sharing their specific experiences and expertise, contributing to a more inclusive research and development process. Digital Promise facilitated these activities in order to ensure each groups' voice was heard and any potential power dynamics were ameliorated.
