Gaps in achievement test scores continue to exist in students depending upon race, gender, income, and ethnicity according to the Center on Education Policy (CEP), an advocate for public schools. School districts and schools are struggling to close the achievement gap that exists. In the 2010-2011 school years, 34.4% of African American students in the third grade failed to pass the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Test (CRCT) in the research school. The participants in this study were enrolled in a Title I elementary school located in south east Georgia. The school system was comprised of one comprehensive high school (grades 9 through 12), one middle school (grades 4 through 8), two elementary schools, and one alternative school. The school district served approximately 1,689 students with 144 employees. Mathematics-related music did not have a significant effect on basic mathematics fact fluency. GRASP Mathematic Computational Fluency pre and posttest results were used to determine if there was academic growth for the treatment group when compared to the control group. According to the results from the study, mathematics-related music was not a valid intervention. The students in Group B who participated in the intervention did not make significant gains when comparing their pre (M = 21.95, SD = 7.62) and posttest (M = 23.89, SD = 8.23) scores to the control groups pre (M = 18.84, SD = 8.96) and posttest (M = 20.53, SD = 8.62) scores. Fourteen students in Group B only slightly improved their achievement scores while three students' scores decreased, and two students' scores stayed the same. In Group A, 15 students increased their achievement scores, while three students' scores decreased, and one student's score remained the same. To determine the effect size of mathematics-related music on students' basic mathematic fluency scores, Cohen's d calculations indicated the intervention had a medium effect (d = 0.41) on Mathematic Computational Fluency scores. An average student in the treatment group would be expected to outscore about 66% of the students in the control group. Mathematics-related music increased scores approximately 16%. The following are appended: (1) GRASP: 3rd Grade Computational Fluency Screener; (2) Third Grade Student Survey; and (3) Student Engagement Walkthrough Checklist.

Research indicates students who engage in music exhibit improved cognitive development. The quantitative study was conducted in a large suburban school district in Southeast Georgia. This study investigated the impact of music on student achievement when music is incorporated with the core academic subject of mathematics at the elementary level. This goal was accomplished by using a pretest-posttest control group design with a population of 51 third grade students and 51 fifth grade students through a series of analysis of covariance tests (ANCOVA). The t-test results showed statistically significant difference when comparing the experimental and control groups: t (26) = 6.11, p [greater than].000, t (23) = 3.73, p [greater than].001, t (26) = 6.01,p [greater than].000, t ((23) = 7.30,p [greater than].000. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used with the data to answer Research Question 2. Both groups showed significant difference. White students in both the control and experimental group outperformed black students in the experimental and control groups, F (7, 94) = 5.47, p [greater than].000. In answer to Research Question 3, when comparing the high socioeconomic group to the low socioeconomic group we find that many of the low socioeconomic groups scored higher than the high socioeconomic status groups F(7,94) = 6.03, p [greater than] .000 . It is recommended that future studies incorporate a power analysis to ensure sufficient sample size. The findings benefit teachers and students by presenting data supporting how the use of baroque and classical music playing along with music integration into the math curriculum is an important role in increasing student achievement in mathematics.

The purpose of this study was to see if the use of the Mastering Math Facts program would increase the computational fluency of basic facts of my third grade math students. A survey regarding perceptions and attitudes toward math was given to my math students prior to the study. Baseline data were collected from student sin my class, along with two other classes not participating in Mastering Math Facts, through a subtraction pretest. This test was administered to all students every four weeks throughout the sixteen-week study. The student survey was again administered to my class at the conclusion of the study. FIndings suggest that the use of Mastering Math Facts did increase the computation fluency of my third grade math students.

This approach to teaching basic math facts, grounded in years of research, will transform students' learning of basic facts and help them become more confident, adept, and successful at math. Mastering the basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division is an essential goal for all students. Most educators also agree that success at higher levels of math hinges on this fundamental skill. But what's the best way to get there? Are flash cards, drills, and timed tests the answer? If so, then why do students go into the upper elementary grades (and beyond) still counting on their fingers or experiencing math anxiety? What does research say about teaching basic math facts so they will stick? In Math Fact Fluency, experts Jennifer Bay-Williams and Gina Kling provide the answers to these questions—and so much more. This book offers everything a teacher needs to teach, assess, and communicate with parents about basic math fact instruction, including The five fundamentals of fact fluency, which provide a research-based framework for effective instruction in the basic facts. Strategies students can use to find facts that are not yet committed to memory. More than 40 easy-to-make, easy-to-use games that provide engaging fact practice. More than 20 assessment tools that provide useful data on fact fluency and mastery. Suggestions and strategies for collaborating with families to help their children master the basic math facts. Math Fact Fluency is an indispensable guide for any educator who needs to teach basic math facts.

"Purpose, scope, and method of study. Research studies using Precision Teaching in the public school classroom have shown significant increase in student learning by students charting their daily practice results and practicing facts to fluency. The purpose of this study was to look at the effect of Precision Teaching on the fluency of multiplication facts in the home school setting. Two components of learning, fluency and endurance, were addressed. Forty Christian home school students from the Tulsa metropolitan area, ranging from 3rd through 6th grade, participated in the study. Students and their parents volunteered for the study but were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group did timed drills daily, charted their results on celeration (rate of learning) charts, and made educational decisions using those charts. The second group practiced daily but only did time drills when completing the weekly probes. Parents in this second group examined the weekly data, but they did not chart the data. One-minute probes were administered weekly throughout the twenty-eight day study as a pre- and post-test to assess fluency. Five-minute endurance probes were also administered as a pre- and post-test. Probes consisted of multiplication skill sheets from Sopris West Educational Services Basic Skill Builders and were used with permission. Analysis of the data was two-fold. Means of celeration, fluency (speed and accuracy), and endurance were statistically analyzed using a t-test at the .05 significance level. Probes were also charted on standard celeration charts and celeration lines were drawn and analyzed using the mid-day, mid-rate method. Findings and conclusions. The numerous statistical analyses performed for this researcher's study yielded no significant results. Both groups progressed in fluency although neither group achieved a fluency of 80 digits per minute. Daily practice, whether timed or untimed, produced similar progress in fluency and endurance. The precision teaching components of charting and timed practice did not produce significant results over the control group"--Abstract.
