Using Computer Based Drill
and Practice Programs to
Improve Student
Achievement in Math
Laura Clark
ECU 521
Spring 2010
Current Research- Curriculum
◦ New standards are based on findings that
student achievement increases when student-
centered, hands-on activities are used to build
mathematical concepts and understand number
relationships
◦ New curriculum emphasizes real-world
connections
◦ PROBLEM: Less time spent memorizing and
mastering concepts
◦ PROBLEM: Traditional text is still used in a
majority of classrooms in the U.S.
◦ PROBLEM: Studies have shown students
perform better on tests when student-centered
learning is used in the classroom
Current Research-Math Learning
Disabilities
 Students with Math Learning Disabilities
(MLD) have poor fact memory, calculation
skills, and working memory
 They are often slower to come up with
answers than their average performing
peers and rely on immature back-up
methods
 Students who have poor math fact
retrieval struggle with complex math
processes
Current Research- Technology
 Drill and practice games can increase on-
task behavior in MLD students
 Arcade games are less effective for MLD
students because of distracting features
http://www.kidsnumbers.com/addition.php
 Drill and Practice games are most
effective for all students when…
◦ build relationship between facts
◦ place emphasis on fact memorization
Limitation: Students do not practice writing
answers
Intervention- Drill and Practice
Whole Group
 Facts should be taught in Fact Families
 PowerPoint
 Oral and written practice
 Daily Practice
 WHOLE GROUP: One fact family per week
Intervention-Drill and Practice
Individual Computer Based
Learning
 Free online programs
http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.ht
m
 Daily practice 10 minutes at own level
Assessment
 Goal: All students will master addition and
subtraction facts to 12.
 Weekly :1 minute time tests
 Final: Mixed facts test to 12
