Enhanced Perception Through Techniques in Mathematics

This you tube video shows how increased perception for school assignments can result from a math technique called Additive Interspersal. Graduate Student Lindsay Nash and Assistant Professor Kristin Johnson-Gros give insight into Lindsay's graduate research study.

Additive Interspersal is a successful method because it reinforces students to complete various assignments and tasks in the classroom. Easier math problems are added to an assignment to break up the level of difficulty. This will keep the student motivated to complete the assignment and enhance their preference. For example, additive intersperse problems can be single digit multiplication problems. These problems will be completed among harder problems such as regrouping of multiple digits in multiplication.

The goal of this math technique is to raise the level of performance in these students. Researchers in school psychology hope that students will be able to improve their ability to correctly answer problems. Additive Interspersal is an important tool to keep the children active in school, and to increase their confidence in higher achievement in the classroom.

This particular study has taught me that various techniques can be used to develop a child's growth in school. Academic interventions are crucial to increase the competency of learning in students.
