Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to examine the effectiveness of DI flashcards and a math racetrack procedure with basic math facts. Three students at-risk for school failure and enrolled in a rural elementary school, served as participants. Data were gathered for both corrects and errors both orally and in writing. Fluency measures were gathered from the one-minute timed test as the end of each session. The overall results indicated that all three students improved their performance. Also, each student could complete more problems correctly per minute on their timed tests. Pre and posttest scores for math facts also improved. The development, management, and implementation of these procedures were discussed.
