Number Line Approach Combined with Cognitive Learning Strategies

The experimental intervention is a 27-lesson program that targets sixth-grade students with low fraction skills, focusing on the number line representation of fractions and incorporating cognitive learning strategies to improve learning and retention. The intervention includes explicit instruction, representational gestures, dual coding, spaced and interleaved practice, and feedback. The lessons are structured around a color run theme, where students practice counting aloud fractions of like denominators along the number line, and engage in games and activities to develop their understanding of fraction concepts, including magnitude judgments and equivalencies.

Teach to One: Math (TtO): Personalized Learning for Middle School Mathematics

Teach to One: Math (TtO) is a blended learning intervention that targets middle school mathematics. TtO redesigns classroom instruction to match students with the specific content that best supports their academic growth. The program uses a 'skills map' to outline the skills students must master and their dependencies, and each student's individual learning profile is generated from a baseline assessment and updated frequently based on student performance. Students are physically reorganized into one large room containing multiple teachers and students from different classes simultaneously, and they meet in their Math advisory (Ma) sections to take a short, multiple-choice 'exit ticket' to determine their mastery of that day's content.
