Chiang, Berttram – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
Three male and three female fourth grade learning disabled students received microcomputer assisted instruction in multiplication. Results indicated that about 12 days' computer drill yielded mean gains of 4.7 and 6.1 facts per minute for girls and boys, respectively. Results suggested transfer of learning to conventional paper-and-pencil tasks.…

Irish, Cheryl – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2002
Memory Math, a multimedia software program that uses a peg- and keyword mnemonic strategy to teach basic multiplication facts, was used with six students with learning and cognitive disabilities. Five of the students demonstrated improved accuracy on electronic probes and all students demonstrated increased accuracy on the paper/pencil probes.…

Attisha, M.; Yazdani, M. – Instructional Science, 1984
Describes a microcomputer-based system for diagnosing children's multiplication errors which incorporates the knowledge base of all known systematic multiplication errors, and utilizes a modular approach to cope with the program's complexity. Each module's function, how the programs interact, and the design of pupil-machine interaction are…

Koscinski, Susan T.; Gast, David L. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1993
Six male elementary school students with learning disabilities were taught multiplication facts using a computer software program with a five-second constant time delay procedure. Results indicated that the computer-assisted instructional program was effective. Learning generalized with varying degrees of success. (Author/JDD)

Wilson, Rich; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1996
The acquisition of multiplication facts by four elementary students with learning disabilities was compared under two instructional delivery formats--teacher directed and computer assisted. All students mastered more facts in the teacher-directed condition. In addition, teachers provided many more opportunities to respond and showed a higher…

Carrier, Carol; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1985
Students from six fourth-grade classes were paired and randomly assigned to computer or worksheet treatments on multiplication and division. Those using computer-based drill-and-practice programs made greater gains on some tests of basic facts, but had no higher retention of algorithms. (MNS)

Kaput, James J. – 1988
The Educational Technology Center has attempted to develop a series of computer based learning environments to support the learning and application of multiplicative reasoning. The work and software described in this paper, including the teaching experiment that generated the error phenomena examined, is part of a larger ongoing research project.…

Perez, Elizabeth Carlson; White, Mary Alice – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1985
Describes the development of a method of identifying motivational and educational attributes through student reports of what they like and what they perceive they are learning. Applications of the method to microcomputer software and traditional classroom activities are compared. (23 references) (MBR)

Vacc, Nancy Nesbitt – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1992
Discusses methods for teaching mathematics skills and describes a study of third graders that compared student performances on worksheets, a microcomputer drill and practice program, and daily one-minute timing procedures of precision teaching for independent practice of multiplication facts. Results indicate that precision teaching was the most…
