A video series that helps parents work with their children on their math problems or Dyscalculia. It splits out the various causes of trouble with math; early numeracy problem, memory, processing speed, visual spatial issues, math anxiety, and dyscalculia. Dr Schreuder offers hand-on help for all these causes and then goes on in a vast number of demonstrations of the most popular tools and shows how to use them and what to use them for. Finally, she discusses a number of programs available either in books or online that may help your child. The video series is a great toolbox to have and to use over and over with various problems you want to tackle.

Effective Programs in Elementary Mathematics

Posted on by

This article reviews research on the achievement outcomes of elementary mathematics programs. 87 rigorous experimental studies evaluated 66 programs in grades K-5. Programs were organized in 6 categories. Particularly positive outcomes were found for tutoring programs (ES=+0.20, k=22). Positive outcomes were also seen in studies focused on professional development for classroom organization and management (e.g., cooperative
learning) (ES=+0.19, k=7). Professional development approaches focused on helping teachers gain in understanding of mathematics content and pedagogy had little impact on student achievement. Professional development intended to help in the adoption of new curricula had a small but significant impact for traditional (non-digital) curricula (ES=+0.12, k=7), but not
for digital curricula. Traditional and digital curricula with limited professional development, as well as benchmark assessment programs, found few positive effects.
