does the following identify the alignment between the problem, purpose and research questions for a quasi-experimental research? The study incorporated a quasi-experimental quantitative approach to determine if a difference exists in academic achievement during times of participation in comparison to the time of non-involvement. Concluding results were based on hard data so as not to incorporate any bias or preconceived notions. Mathematical findings help alert administrators of the district and other districts of methods to improve the academic achievement of students without necessarily increasing the budget or resources. The background and statement of the problem while identifying the purpose and significance of the study will be addressed in the upcoming section. Research questions and hypotheses will be included along with the theoretical frameworks, definitions of terms, assumptions, limitations, scope, and delimitations
