Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education

This paper reports on results of a targeted and extended (two school terms) program for building Grade 3 and Grade 4 students' facility with number facts and application for mental computation. As part of a larger project, this paper reports results from two schools. Results indicated strong gains in number fact recall and mental computation for both cohorts at both schools. The similar gains in outcomes at both schools suggests the power of a targeted and extended program to build basic fact fluency for mental computation.
