Thanks! @burnsmk1 too. I hope @4ScienceofMath can be a conversation catalyst to talk about what is most likely to work for whom, for what content, & under what conditions. We need to know when to explicitly instruct, when to explore, & how to use data to decide.

I ❤️ doing research in classrooms w/ teachers & students for so many reasons. I am going through social validity results today and one student responded that the most important thing they learned was “everything” while another one wrote “I don’t even remember what we did.” 😂

New article in Learning Disabilities Research and Practice! TLDR? Brief addition and subtraction practice embedded in word-problem tutoring improved both fact and computation scores at posttest with some effects persisting at follow up. @SyedaSharji onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Visual abstract for article titled "The Effects of Addition and Subtraction Practice Within a Word-Problem Intervention." On the left, the message is that brief fact practice led to improved math fact scores. In the middle, the message is that brief computation practice led to improved computation scores. On the right, the message is that at follow-up in Grade 4, effects maintained on double-digit addition. Brief addition and subtraction practice should be a part of any math intervention.
