Prepare 2 Learn: A mathematics intervention program for students at risk in Years 3 to 6 designed to help them reach expected level and become confident, responsible, independent mathematics learners BERNADETTE MARY LONG 10.4225/03/592e091cb9fc2 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Prepare_2_Learn_A_mathematics_intervention_program_for_students_at_risk_in_Years_3_to_6_designed_to_help_them_reach_expected_level_and_become_confident_responsible_independent_mathematics_learners/5047927 This study reports on an intervention, Prepare 2 Learn, designed taking into account research literature and components of other successful mathematics programs. The research targeted students approximately 6 months behind the expected mathematics level for their year. The intervention consisted of four key components: building prerequisite knowledge of mathematical language, concepts, and skills to prepare students for their classroom mathematics; increasing fluency with mental computation; encouraging a growth mindset; and developing metacognitive strategies. This combination of components sought to enable the students to reach expected level and become confident, responsible, independent mathematics learners. 2017-05-31 00:06:49 growth mindset metacognition prerequisite knowledge learning teaching mathematics intervention pedagogy fluency Education
