Think Facts Math Game for Single Digit Operational Fluency

 In this Phase 1 project, the researchers developed a prototype of a game to help students learn math. An estimated five to eight percent of elementary school students have some form of memory or cognitive deficit that inhibits learning basic math. Researchers have identified several areas where children with math learning difficulties struggle. These include a strong sense of number facts to quickly and accurately perform operations on single digit numbers, the use of strategies to solve problems which have not yet been memorized, an ability to figure out whether or not an answer is reasonable, and self-monitoring to assess one's own efficacy and understanding.
