Area of Science:

  • Special Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Students with learning disabilities often struggle with mastering basic arithmetic facts.
  • Effective instructional strategies are crucial for improving academic performance in this population.

Observation:

  • A novel instructional package was implemented to target multiplication fact acquisition.
  • The package incorporated categorized fact grouping, identification, and mnemonic strategies.

Findings:

  • The instructional package led to immediate and substantial improvements in multiplication fact accuracy.
  • Participants achieved near-perfect accuracy (often 100%) post-intervention.
  • The gains in accuracy were maintained throughout the study.

Implications:
