Direct linkFuchs, Lynn S.; Malone, Amelia S. – Elementary School Journal, 2021
The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to gain insight into whether teaching fractions improves teachers' understanding of fractions. University master's students (n = 25) conducted tutoring on fraction magnitude in grades 3-5. The contrast condition, 17 master's students drawn from the same pool of research assistant applicants,…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Craddock, Caitlin – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2020
The focus of this article is the role of language comprehension within word-problem solving (WPS). The role of the language comprehension in WPS is explained, and an overview of research illustrating language comprehension's contribution to WPS is described. Next, an innovative intervention that embeds word problem (WP)-specific language…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Wang, Amber Y.; Preacher, Kristopher J.; Malone, Amelia S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Pachmayr, Rachel – Exceptional Children, 2021
The purposes of this study were to assess the effects of fractions intervention for students who are at risk for poor outcomes and to examine whether a component that combines self-regulated learning with growth-mindset instruction (SR-GM) provides added value for improving outcomes. At-risk students (N = 84) were randomly assigned to three…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Malone, Amelia S. – Grantee Submission, 2020
The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to gain insight into whether teaching fractions improves teachers' understanding of fractions. University master's students (n = 25) conducted tutoring focused on fraction magnitude using number line representations across 39 sessions (3 per week) at grades 3-5. The contrast condition, 17 master's…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K. – Exceptional Children, 2019
The purpose of this analysis was to assess whether effects of first-grade mathematics intervention apply across the range of at-risk learners' initial skill levels. Students were randomly assigned to control (n = 213) and two variants of intervention (n = 385) designed to improve arithmetic. Of each 30-minute intervention session (48 over 16…

Björn, Piia M.; Äikäs, Aino; Hakkarainen, Airi; Kyttälä, Minna; Fuchs, Lynn S. – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019
Background: The previous body of research literature has reported several separate cognitive processes relevant in solving mathematics wps. Therefore, it is of the essence to seek for effective intervention and instruction for students in need for support in learning. Aim: This article reports the outcome of an intervention targeted at mathematics…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K. – Grantee Submission, 2019
The purpose of this analysis was to assess whether effects of 1st-grade mathematics intervention apply across the range of at-risk learners' initial skill levels. Students were randomly assigned to control (n=213) and 2 variants of intervention (n=385) designed to improve arithmetic. Of each 30-minute intervention session (48 over 16 weeks), 25…

Powell, Sarah R.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2018
Many general and special education teachers teach mathematics word problems by defining problems as a single operation and linking key words to specific operations. Unfortunately, teaching students to approach word problems in these ways discourages mathematical reasoning and frequently produces incorrect answers. This article lists eight common…

Powell, Sara R.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Many general and special education teachers across the U.S. teach word problems by defining problems as a single operation (e.g., "Today, we're working on subtraction word problems") and linking key words (e.g., more, altogether, share, twice) to specific operations (e.g., share means to divide). Unfortunately, teaching students to…

Foreman-Murray, Lindsay; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Students' explanations of their mathematical thinking and conclusions have become a greater part of the assessment landscape in recent years. With a sample of 71 fourth-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities, we investigated the relation between student accuracy in comparing the magnitude of fractions and the quality of…

Wang, Amber Y.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Krowka, Sarah; Abramson, Rebecca – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of fractions intervention with and without an embedded self-regulation (SR) component for third-grade students at risk for mathematics disabilities. Fractions intervention focused on magnitude understanding and word problems. Embedded SR was designed to support a growth mindset (fostering…
