WWC releases review of Fractions Face-Off ! program

The What Works Clearinghouse has released a review confirming the findings of a study of the Fractions Face-Off! program, which found that students severely at-risk for low math achievement made significant gains using two versions of the Fractions Face-Off! program as compared to a set of their peers who did not receive the intervention.


 Fractions Face-Off! is designed to help fourth-grade students at risk for math difficulties learn fractions and decimals concepts. The first FFO treatment targeted fluency-building for measurement topics such as comparing and ordering fractions. The second FFO treatment targeted conceptual understanding of those topics. 277 fourth graders at risk for low math achievement participated in an individual-level randomized control trial and received either the fluency treatment (n=94), the conceptual treatment (n=91), or the district's regular math program, enVisionMATH (n=92). The intervention was provided three times a week for 30 minutes in groups of three with trained tutors.  Results showed a positive, statistically significant effect of both FFOinterventions on the at-risk fourth grade students.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
