Action and observations
In Week 3 of the term implementation of
the Counting On program began. The nine
students attended school on a regular basis
and enjoyed participating in the Counting On
activities, often asking if the sessions could
run overtime as they were enjoying them so
much!
The average score for the pre-test was
6.9 out of 12 correct answers, whereas the
average score for the post-test was 10.1 out
of 12 correct answers. Figure 2 displays
these data in terms of the number of wrong
answers recorded before and after the eight
week program. Although it is possible that
the nine students may have become test-wise,
the 8 week period between administrations
makes this unlikely.
