A GROUP MATH INTERVENTION - THE MODIFICATION OF COVER, COPY, AND COMPARE FOR GROUP APPLICATION

A drill and practice intervention was applied in a small-group setting to improve students' fluency (accuracy and speed) with basic math fac ts. The Cover, Copy, and Compare intervention (Skinner, Turco, Be-atty , & Rasavage, 1989) was modified and implemented with a small, middle school Chapter I math class. Data are presented showing digits correct per minute (DCPM) using a multiple baseline design across sets of div ision facts. Component parts of DCPM, speed and accuracy, are further discussed. Results of this study provide the scientist-practitioner wi th ideas about implementing group interventions using drill for math f acts. Ways to refine the intervention based on baseline data are discu ssed.
