The participants in this study were Grade 4, 5, 6 and 9 math students that demonstrated difficulty with number perception and basic math concepts that significantly interfered with comprehension and recall. Artifacts were collected as evidence to these deficits. Three noted causes for the deficits were lack of prior knowledge, negative attitudes towards math and widely varying teaching methods. This study successfully demonstrated that with consistent use of manipulatives, cooperative learning strategies and technology integration, student math performance increased.
