Relkin, Emily; de Ruiter, Laura; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
There is a need for developmentally appropriate Computational Thinking (CT) assessments that can be implemented in early childhood classrooms. We developed a new instrument called "TechCheck" for assessing CT skills in young children that does not require prior knowledge of computer programming. "TechCheck" is based on…

Powell, Sarah R.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
According to national mathematics standards, algebra instruction should begin at kindergarten and continue through elementary school. Most often, teachers address algebra in the elementary grades with problems related to solving equations or understanding functions. With 789 second-grade students, we administered: (1) measures of calculations and…

Namkung, Jessica M.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
The purpose of the study was to examine differences in early numerical competencies, as well as subtraction skill, as a function of children's mathematics difficulty (MD) status: computational difficulty (CD), word problem-solving difficulty (PD), concurrent difficulty (CDPD), or neither difficulty (i.e., typically developing; TYP). Based on…

Gilbertson, Donna; Duhon, Gary; Witt, Joseph C.; Dufrene, Brad – Education and Treatment of Children, 2008
This study examined the effects of task difficulty on on-task behavior for four students exhibiting low levels of math performance and on-task behavior. Curriculum-based assessments were conducted with each student to define the difficulty level of math tasks for each student based on the individual's rate of accurate performance on computational…
