The current study examined digits correct per minute (DCPM) growth using explicit timing procedures across varying instructional set sizes (ISSs) and dose. Specifically, the study used a randomized group design to compare DCPM growth within three different ISSs (9, 18, and 36 multiplication facts) across three different levels of dose (2-, 4-, and…

An adapted alternating treatments design was used to compare the effectiveness of a taped-problems (TP) intervention with TP and an additional immediate assessment (TP + AIA) on the multiplication fluency of six fifth-grade students. During TP, the students listened to a tape playing a series of multiplication problems and answers three times.…

A multiple-probe-across-problem-sets (tasks) design was used to evaluate the effects of the Detect, Practice, and Repair (DPR) on multiplication-fact fluency development in seven third-grade students nominated by their teacher as needing remediation. DPR is a multicomponent intervention and begins with a group-administered, metronome-paced…

A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effects of a modified Detect, Practice, and Repair (DPR) procedure on multiplication-fact fluency with 10 low-achieving 5th-grade students. Experimenters modified the DPR procedure using Microsoft[C] PowerPoint[C] slide shows to conduct the assessments and allow for more rapid self-evaluation in…

College students (N = 151) completed three in-class mathematics assignments that varied with respect to the order of short, medium, and long multiplication problems, including a short-to-long order, a long-to-short order, and a random order. Problem order within assignments did not significantly affect work accuracy, completion time, or assignment…

A multiple-probes-across-tasks design was used to evaluate the effects of a taped-problems intervention on the multiplication fact fluency of 18 students from an intact general education third-grade classroom. During the classwide taped-problems intervention, students were given lists of problems and instructed to attempt to complete each problem…

This study compared the effects of two cover, copy, and compare interventions on the written multiplication performance of two elementary school students with behavioral disorders. The verbal response condition resulted in greater increases in written multiplication performance and occasioned more than twice the number of opportunities to respond…

College students were exposed to two pairs of mathematics assignments. Assignment Pair A included a high-effort assignment containing 18 long three-digit ? two-digit (3?2) multiplication problems with all numerals in each problem being equal to or greater than four and a moderate-effort assignment that contained nine long problems and nine…

Compared effects of peer-delivered (PDF) and self-delivered (SDF) immediate corrective feedback intervention on multiplication performance of six second grade students. SDF resulted in greater multiplication performance for four of six students, suggesting that SDF interventions may be more efficient and less obtrusive than PDF interventions and…

Compares the effects of two self-managed interventions on written multiplication in two elementary students with behavior disorders. Results indicate that the verbal responding intervention resulted in a larger number of learning trials and greater increases in learning rates. Focuses on increasing learning rates by requiring more time-efficient…
