Improving fraction understanding in sixth graders with mathematics difficulties: Effects of a number line approach combined with cognitive learning strategies. (2019, methodology): “We assessed working memory, receptive vocabulary, inhibitory control, nonverbal matrix reasoning, and nonsymbolic proportional reasoning, all known predictors of mathematics achievement (e.g., Fuchs et al., 2014; Hansen et al., 2015; Ye et al., 2016).”
Supported Self-Explaining during Fraction Intervention. (2015, background): “…knowledge, roles have been demonstrated for reasoning (Fuchs et al., 2013; Seethaler et al., 2011), working memory (Fuchs, Schumacher, et al., 2013, 2014; Hansen et al., 2015; Jordan et al., 2013; Seethaler et al., 2011), and language comprehension (Fuchs et al., 2013; Jordan et al., 2013).”
A Case for Domain-Specific Curiosity in Mathematics (2019, background): “Mathematics differs from domains such as history and psychology in that much of the knowledge must be learned in a well-defined sequence, since more complex mathematical understanding necessarily relies upon prior knowledge and skills (Common Core State Standards 2018; Hansen et al. 2015).”
Effectiveness of mathematical word problem solving interventions for students with learning disabilities and/or mathematics difficulties: A meta-analysis. (2016, background): “(2009). Results showed that word problem solving interventions yielded a significant, positive mean effect (g = 0.”
Inclusion Versus Specialized Intervention for Very-Low-Performing Students (2015, background): “It predicts fraction learning between Grades 3 and 5 (Hansen et al., 2014; Jordan et al., 2013) and more advanced mathematics achievement, including algebra (e.”
