Improving Struggling Fifth-Grade Students' Understanding of Fractions: A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Intervention That Stresses Both Concepts and Procedures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Schumacher, Robin F.; Dimino, Joseph; Smolkowski, Keith; Spallone, Samantha – Exceptional Children, 2021
Using a randomized controlled trial, we examined the effect of a fractions intervention for students experiencing mathematical difficulties in Grade 5. Students who were eligible for the study (n = 205) were randomly assigned to intervention and comparison conditions, blocked by teacher. The intervention used systematic, explicit instruction and…

The Deficit Profile of Elementary Students with Computational Difficulties versus Word Problem-Solving Difficulties
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lin, Xin; Peng, Peng; Luo, Hongjing – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
The purpose of the study was to compare the deficit profiles of two important types of mathematics difficulties. Three cognitive measures (working memory, processing speed, and reasoning), two mathematics measures (numerical facts retrieval and mathematics vocabulary), and reading comprehension were assessed among 237 Chinese fourth-grade…

Effects of Fourth- and Fifth-Grade "Super Solvers" Intervention on Fraction Magnitude Understanding and Calculation Skill
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Lynn S. Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Kristopher J. Preacher; Douglas Fuchs; Amber Y. Wang; Rachel Pachmayr – Grantee Submission, 2019
The purposes of this study were twofold. The first was to test the efficacy of two versions of the "Super Solvers" (SS) intervention for fourth- and fifth-grade students at-risk for mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). The second was to test the value of adding an error analysis component to the SS intervention. Students were…

The Role of Cognitive Processes, Foundational Math Skill, and Calculation Accuracy and Fluency in Word-Problem Solving versus Prealgebraic Knowledge
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Powell, Sarah R.; Cirino, Paul T.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hamlett, Carol L.; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Tolar, Tammy D. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine child-level pathways in development of prealgebraic knowledge versus word-problem solving, while evaluating the contribution of calculation accuracy and fluency as mediators of foundational skills/processes. Children (n = 962; mean 7.60 years) were assessed on general cognitive processes and early…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Malone, Amelia; Schumacher, Robin F.; Namkung, Jessica; Hamlett, Carol L.; Jordan, Nancy C.; Siegler, Robert S.; Gersten, Russell; Changas, Paul – Grantee Submission, 2015
The main purposes of this study were to test the effects of teaching at-risk 4th graders to provide explanations for their mathematics work and examine whether those effects occur by compensating for limitations in cognitive processes. We randomly assigned 212 children to 3 conditions: a control group and 2 variants of a multi-component fraction…
