Interventions

• CFI - Classwide Fraction Intervention — BEHAVIORAL
  40 sessions (2 sessions per week; 25-31 minutes per session) of explicit fraction intervention designed to improve students understanding of fraction magnitude and fraction operations.

Study Details

The main purpose of this study is to assess effects of a previously validated fraction intervention when it is conducted classwide on the fraction knowledge of fourth-grade students with and without math learning difficulties (MLD). The study population is 4th-grade students with MLD and without MLD. Teachers agree to be randomly assigned to two conditions. In one condition, teachers include classwide fraction intervention (CFI) in their standard math program. In the other condition, teachers conduct their standard math program without CFI. CFI is implemented 2 times per week for 20 weeks for about 30 minutes each time. Students in both conditions are tested before and after CFI ends.

Arms

• Experimental: CFI - Classwide Fraction Intervention
  40 sessions (2 sessions per week; 25-31 minutes per session) of explicit fraction intervention designed to improve students understanding of fraction magnitude and fraction operations.
• No Intervention: Control - Business-As-Usual
  Involves participation in the schools' typical math program

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Fraction Ordering Score [ Time Frame: Pre-intervention measurement will take place within three weeks prior to beginning of intervention; post-intervention measurement will take place within three weeks after completion of intervention. ]
