Abstract

Students solved mathematics problems from 4 assignment pairs. Each control assignment contained 18 target multiplication problems that were 4 × 1-digit (4 × 1), 4 × 2, 4 × 3, or 4 × 4. Each paired experimental assignment contained 18 similar problems plus 6 interspersed 1 × 1-digit problems. After c...
