The purpose of this study was to explore the paths by which word-problem intervention, with versus without embedded prealgebraic reasoning instruction, improved word-problem performance. Students with mathematics difficulty (MD; n = 304) were randomly assigned to a business-as-usual condition or 1 of 2 variants of word-problem intervention. The…

Fuchs, 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,…

Recent intervention research has demonstrated success in raising the achievement level of students who are struggling with mathematics. This practice guide, developed by the What Works Clearinghouse™ (WWC) in conjunction with an expert panel, distills this contemporary mathematics intervention research into six easily comprehensible and practical…

Namkung, Jessica M.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Koziol, Natalie – Grantee Submission, 2018
The purposes of this study were to (a) explore whether early fractions understanding at 4th grade is differentially challenging for students with versus without adequate whole-number competence and (b) identify specific whole-number skill associated with difficulty in fractions understanding. Based on initial whole-number competence, 1,108 4th…

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…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Sterba, Sonya K.; Craddock, Caitlin; Fuchs, Douglas; Compton, Donald L.; Geary, David C.; Changas, Paul – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
The main purpose of this study was to test the effects of word-problem (WP) intervention, with versus without embedded language comprehension (LC) instruction, on at-risk 1st graders' WP performance. We also isolated the need for a structured approach to WP intervention and tested the efficacy of schema-based instruction at 1st grade. Children (n…

Bailey, Drew H.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Gilbert, Jennifer K.; Geary, David C.; Fuchs, Douglas – Child Development, 2020
We present first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade impacts for a first-grade intervention targeting the conceptual and procedural bases that support arithmetic. At-risk students (average age at pretest = 6.5) were randomly assigned to three conditions: a control group (n = 224) and two variants of the intervention (same conceptual instruction…

Powell, Sarah R.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2015
Students who demonstrate persistent mathematics difficulties and whose performance is severely below grade level require "intensive intervention". Intensive intervention is an individualized approach to instruction that is more demanding and concentrated than Tier 2 intervention efforts. We present the elements of intensive intervention…

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…
