Abstract

This study utilized brief experimental analysis (BEA) to identify an effective individualized math intervention for improving multiplication fact proficiency for four middle school aged Hispanic students. Results of the BEAs specified an effective intervention that produced both performance gains across three distinct multiplication fact sets in a multiple baseline across fact sets design and maintenance of effects over time. In addition, near (untaught inverse multiplication facts) and far (untaught related division facts) generalization of the effects of the intervention were measured for each participant with mixed results across participants. The current investigation extends the literature on the use of BEA to identify effective math interventions for improving multiplication fluency among middle-school age Hispanic students who are English language learners.
