Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of computer programs on the mathematics content and skills of third grade students who have difficulty with mathematics; such students might profit from additional tutoring and interventions utilizing technology. Amongst students participating in study achievement scores demonstrated a mean overall increase of 10.65 points. This study strongly suggests student’s skills in mathematical achievement can be strengthened through the utilization of the computer programs combined with the added support during completion of homework.
