How do you say “0.68”? Does it matter for learning? We taught 5th & 6th graders to use either decomposed labels (six tenths and eight hundredths), common-unit labels (sixty-eight hundredths), or point labels (point six eight).

How did college outcomes change after WI began requiring both a college entrance exam and a career readiness exam? In our new article @ERjournal_AERA, @NoahHirschl and I show the policy corresponded with an ⬆️ in college attendance but a ⬇️ in equality.🧵
