Matthias Grünke; Jennifer Karnes; Anne Barwasser; Mack Burke – Journal of Education and Learning, 2024
This paper presents a replication study investigating the effectiveness of a strategy to assist students with learning difficulties in adding fractions. Drawing on the research conducted by Grünke et al. (2023), this single-case analysis extends the application of the "Look, Ask, Pick" (LAP) mnemonic technique initially introduced by…

Poloczek, Sebastian; Hammerstein, Svenja; Büttner, Gerhard – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Being able to perform computational estimations efficiently is an important skill. Furthermore, computational estimation experiments are used to study general principles in strategy development. Rounding strategies are common in computational estimation. However, little is known about whether and when children use a mixed-rounding strategy (i.e.,…

Hilz, Anna; Aldrup, Karen – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2023
Studies on math learning programs are lacking that consider a wide set of outcome variables, and students' practice behavior. Therefore, we investigated whether an adaptive arithmetic learning program fosters students' math performance (addition and subtraction), math self-concept, and a reduction of math anxiety, and how practice behavior…

Matthias Grünke; Anne Barwasser; Linda Bell; Lilian Wasko; Vincent Connelly – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2023
Fractions are an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Most students acquire proficiency with these concepts during the course of their elementary education and are usually able to perform basic fractions operations when reaching middle-school age. However, a considerable number of students require extra help to not fall further and further…

Darius Endlich; Wolfgang Lenhard; Peter Marx; Tobias Richter – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Children with mathematical difficulties need to spend more time than typically achieving children on solving even simple equations. Since these tasks already require a larger share of their cognitive resources, additional demands imposed by the need to switch between tasks may lead to a greater decline of performance in children with mathematical…

Blumenthal, Stefan; Blumenthal, Yvonne – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2020
Progress monitoring of academic achievement is an essential element to prevent learning disorders. A prominent approach is curriculum-based measurement (CBM). Various studies have documented positive effects of CBM on students' achievement. Nevertheless, the use of CBM is associated with additional work for teachers. The use of tablets may be of…

Arndt, Dominique; Sahr, Katleen; Opfermann, Maria; Leutner, Detlev; Fritz, Annemarie – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2013
Recent studies showed that kindergarten children solve addition, subtraction, doubling and halving problems using the core system for the approximate representation of numerical magnitude. In Study 1, 34 first-grade students in their first week of schooling solved approximate arithmetic problems in a number range up to 100 regarding all four basic…
