Amber Y. Wang; Robin F. Schumacher; Barbara J. Dougherty; Samantha Wavell; Joseph Dimino; Russell Gersten – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2024
This pilot study examined the feasibility of using worked examples as a mechanism to improve verbal explanations of fractions concepts among Grade 5 students with mathematics difficulties in a small-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) before scaling up to a large-scale RCT. Students (N = 49) were randomly assigned to a business-as-usual (BAU)…

Lee, Jihyun; Bryant, Diane Pedrotty; Bryant, Brian R. – Remedial and Special Education, 2023
Fraction competence is essential for learning algebra and pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, many children have difficulty using fractions, especially those struggling with mathematics. In this study, we examined the effect of a Tier 2 multicomponent fraction intervention for fifth graders, using a…

Nadra Hafizah; Syafri Ahmad; Melva Zainil; Alwen Bentri – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2024
This research is motivated by observations that show the lack of additional teaching materials in schools that facilitate students in communicating mathematical ideas (symbols, pictures, and graphs) as well as concepts related to fractions by presenting the surrounding environment as a source of learning. The purpose of this study is to reveal the…

Katherine Pettrey – ProQuest LLC, 2023
In the U.S. the fifth-grade mathematics curriculum is largely devoted to building fraction skills, providing an essential foundation for future success in mathematics (National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008). Unfortunately, students in the U.S. struggle with fraction proficiency (National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2022; Organisation…

Jiyeon Park; Diane P. Bryant; Mikyung Shin – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2024
This study investigates the effects of a synchronous online intervention that explicitly taught equivalent fractions using virtual manipulatives to fifth-grade students with learning disabilities. Employing a multiple probe across participants single-case design, this study provided 15 fraction lessons via video conferencing programs to three…

Irfan Fauzi; Andika Arisetyawan; Jiraporn Chano – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2023
This study aims to develop a didactic design using Engklek games to teach the concept of fractions in elementary schools. This study combines a cultural approach, namely Engklek games with mathematics in the concept of fractions. This study used didactical design research, with 2 research subjects, namely 20 students in grade 5 for learning…

Vessonen, Terhi; Hakkarainen, Airi; Väisänen, Eija; Laine, Anu; Aunio, Pirjo; Gagnon, Joseph Calvin – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
Fraction knowledge has been found to predict later mathematical performance, but many students have difficulty with fractions. Virtual manipulatives (VM) and concrete manipulatives (CM) are effective approaches to teaching fractions, but previous research has not been able to reach a consensus on which manipulatives are the most effective. This…

Roschelle, Jeremy; Cheng, Britte Haugan; Hodkowski, Nicola; Neisler, Julie; Haldar, Lina – Online Submission, 2020
A randomized controlled trial investigated the research question: Do students who participate in online tutoring and a related mathematical game learn more about fractions than students who only have access to the game? Participants were 144 students from four schools, all serving low-income students with low prior mathematics achievement. In the…

Anat, Klemer; Shirley, Rapoport; Hanna, Lev-Zamir – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
This study describes a teaching process that offers teachers and pupils ways of constructing the division operation through illustration based on defining the reference unit (divisor), the reference whole1 and the dividend. We introduce a computerized dynamic environment, using an Excel spreadsheet, in which both teachers and pupils can…

Ennis, Robin Parks; Losinski, Mickey – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Many students fall below benchmarks in the area of fractions computation, particularly students with disabilities. Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is one strategy with proven effectiveness for improving outcomes for students with disabilities, although very few studies have applied SRSD to the area of mathematics. In this study, we used…

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…

Stohlmann, Micah; Yang, Yichen; Huang, Xing; Olson, Travis – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
Teaching fraction operations for conceptual understanding is a challenging task. For the topic of fraction division especially, teachers need support because teachers find this difficult to teach and elementary and middle school students struggle to learn this concept. Well-structured professional development can assist teachers in exploring their…

Schumacher, Robin F.; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Dimino, Joseph; Spallone, Samantha; Haymond, Kelly S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2018
A formative pilot study of a fractions intervention was conducted to address the intervention's potential for improving fifth-grade struggling students' knowledge of fractions, and to identify any logistical or instructional design issues, before scaling up for a randomized control trial. In the first section, we provide details of the formative…

Saxe, Geoffrey B.; Sussman, Joshua – Educational Researcher, 2019
National and state assessments show that English language learners (ELs) in elementary and secondary grades score lower in mathematics compared with their matched English proficient peers (EPs). To provide information on strategies for enhancing learning opportunities for ELs in language inclusive classrooms, we analyze the efficacy of…

Schoen, Robert C.; LaVenia, Mark; Tazaz, Amanda M. – Online Submission, 2018
Mathematics teacher professional-development (PD) programs based on Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) have been developed and implemented with tens of thousands of elementary mathematics teachers worldwide since the 1980s. Starting with a focus on addition and subtraction on whole numbers in the first CGI PD program, the content of these…
