Romberg, Thomas A.; Shepler, Jack

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 4, 1, 26-32, Jan 73

Tests were given after instruction in probability and four weeks later to 25 sixth graders. Correlation between achievement scores for each student was .78. Retention ratios for individuals, total tests, each objective, and each item indicated high initial performance may contribute to high retention. (Author/DT)
