Effects of math intervention curriculum by a computer based program by eighth grade middle school students with learning disabilities

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of implementing a math intervention curriculum supported by a computer based program for 81h grade students with learning disabilities. All students were significantly below grade level in math and received instruction in a Special Day Class. Students spent 12 weeks utilizing both the piloted math intervention curriculum supported by the computer based programs prior to state testing. A student survey was shared on how students felt using both programs and if they felt it had improved their math skills. Results of the program were compared to the pretest and post test results collected by the computer based program. Using a state adopted structured math intervention resulted in better retention of skills as well as more engagement in activities.
