Abstract
State standards include fluent use of standard computational algorithms. However, learning and using them require conceptual understanding of numbers and operations. Previous research using the concrete–representational–abstract (CRA) sequence has been effective in teaching computational algorithms to students at risk of and students with learning disabilities by emphasizing conceptual understanding. However, all the research was face-to-face and few captured the impact of the intervention on students’ conceptual understanding. The current study occurred during a pandemic, so researchers modified CRA for remote instruction. This study investigated the effects of modified CRA on sixth-grade students with learning disabilities’ fluency and accuracy. They also included an assessment of conceptual understanding. The researchers used a multiple probe across participants design, demonstrating a functional relation between CRA and students’ fluency and accuracy. Researchers assessed conceptual understanding with informal measures that required application of their conceptual understanding. The results and implications will be discussed.
