Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a previously validated fraction intervention has different effects on fourth-grade students with and without math learning difficulties when the intervention is conducted class-wide.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for 4th-grade students with and without math learning difficulties (MLD) in Metropolitan-Nashville Public Schools where the principal and teacher have agreed to participate. Students with identified intellectual disabilities are excluded as CFI isn't suitable for them.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two teaching conditions: one includes a Classwide Fraction Intervention (CFI) twice a week for 20 weeks during regular math classes, while the other follows the standard math program without CFI. The impact on students' fraction knowledge is assessed before and after.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there are no direct physical side effects. However, differences in learning outcomes or stress levels could potentially be observed.
