This study investigates whether and how the integration of technology and media improves early mathematics outcomes for low-income preschoolers. The study sample was 966 children and 137 teachers in 86 preschool classrooms in California and New York. Preschool classrooms were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a 10-week PBS KIDS Transmedia Math Supplement condition that supported teachers through an organized sequence of hands-on and digital mathematics activities; a Technology & Media condition that provided teachers with media resources out of context, or a Business-As-Usual (BAU) condition. The media resources were drawn from four PBS KIDS programs: Curious George, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!, Sid the Science Kid, and Dinosaur Train. (author abstract)
