We conducted a randomized control trial assessing the effects of two variants of word-problem intervention with third graders (n = 304) experiencing mathematics difficulty. Students were assigned to a business-as-usual condition (BaU) or one of two variants of word-problem intervention. One variant included a pre-algebraic reasoning component…

Background: In fourth grade, students must solve single- and multi-step word problems during classroom instruction and on standardized tests. The majority of mathematics items on high-stakes assessments are word problems; thus, word-problem proficiency is necessary to demonstrate successful mathematics performance. However, many students are…

Scaffolded Self-Explanation with Visual Representations Promotes Efficient Learning in Early Algebra
Tomohiro Nagashima; Anna N. Bartel; Stephanie Tseng; Nicholas A. Vest; Elena M. Silla; Martha W. Alibali; Vincent Aleven – Grantee Submission, 2021
Although visual representations are generally beneficial for learners, past research also suggests that often only a subset of learners benefits from visual representations. In this work, we designed and evaluated anticipatory diagrammatic self- explanation, a novel form of instructional scaffolding in which visual representations are used to…

Druken, Bridget Kinsella – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2023
Although lesson study has been shown to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics, little research has focused on reasons for engaging in it from a teacher's perspective, particularly after sustained engagement with lesson study. This qualitative study reports on thirty-three teachers from the United States who were involved in twelve…

Examining a Preteaching Framework to Improve Fraction Computation Outcomes among Struggling Learners
Watt, Sarah J.; Therrien, William J. – Preventing School Failure, 2016
Thirty-two students enrolled in one of four sixth-grade classrooms across two elementary schools participated in this study. Students receiving supplemental and intensive instruction in math and those with math-related disabilities were participants. A treatment and control, pre/postexperimental design was used to examine the effect of preteaching…
