Improving At-Risk Learners' Understanding of Fractions

TL;DR: This paper investigated the effects of an intervention designed to improve at-risk 4th graders' understanding of fractions and examined the processes by which effects occurred, and found that improvement in the accuracy of children's measurement interpretation of fractions mediated intervention effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does working memory moderate the effects of fraction intervention? An aptitude–treatment interaction.

TL;DR: This article investigated whether individual differences in working memory (WM) moderate effects of two variations of intervention designed to improve at-risk 4th graders' fraction knowledge, and examined the effects of each intervention condition against a business-as-usual control group and assessed whether children's measurement interpretation of fractions mediated those effects.

Does Working Memory Moderate the Effects of Fraction Intervention? An Aptitude-Treatment Interaction.

TL;DR: The authors investigated whether individual differences in working memory (WM) moderate effects of two variations of intervention designed to improve at-risk 4th graders' fraction knowledge, and examined the effects of each intervention condition against a business-as-usual control group.

Cognitive and Mathematical Profiles for Different Forms of Learning Difficulties

TL;DR: Comparisons of subgroups of students with various forms of learning difficulties on cognitive and mathematics characteristics revealed expected level differences among groups in both domains: NoLD outperformed RD, and MD outperformed MDRD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inclusion Versus Specialized Intervention for Very-Low-Performing Students What Does Access Mean in an Era of Academic Challenge?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined achievement gaps on fractions for very low performing students as a function of whether they receive inclusive fraction instruction or specialized fraction intervention and with the shift to Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
