Comparatively little research exists on single-skill math (SSM) curriculum-based measurements (CBMs) for the purpose of monitoring growth, as may be done in practice or when monitoring intervention effectiveness within group or single-case research. Therefore, we examined a common variant of SSM-CBM: 1 digit × 1 digit multiplication. Reflecting…

In this study, the spring constant was determined within the scope of Hooke's law. For this purpose, an Arduino MEGA, an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, and a 1 kg Load Cell Mass Sensor was used. Sensors and microprocessor are mounted on a plane. One end of the spring is mounted on the force sensor, and a wooden rod, perceived by the distance…

This study examines the psychometric properties of a reading motivation measure with a sample of upper elementary students in the United States (n = 195).
