The use and evaluation of copy, cover, and compare with rewards and a flash cards procedure with rewards on division math facts mastery with a fourth grade girl in a home setting

An in-home comparison between the Copy, Cover, and Compare + rewards and flash cards + rewards method of teaching division facts to a fourth grade participant with difficulties in math was examined. The interventions were evaluated with a multiple baseline design across problem lists. The results indicated tha both the Copy, Cover, and Compare method and Flash Cards were successful in increasing correct rate and decreasing errors. These differences were statistically significant. Pre- and posttest data from a list of 90 division math facts revealed a large increase in participant performance. Some generalization of skill acquisition on daily tests was also noted after Copy, Cover, and Compare was introduced. The practical implications of employing these methods with in-home instruction are discussed.
