Action Research Update

Wow!  I can't believe how quickly the time has gone.  I have noticed in my research study that some skills are much easier and take less time to teach and learn.  Students quickly picked up on ordering numbers 0-20. I also feel that since I had to alter the timeline of my study, that students did not have enough time to develop all skills fully.  Most students started to figure our making 5 by the end of the week.  I also noticed that addition skills improved much more quickly than subtraction skills.  Some students still want to add when practicing a subtraction fluency test.  I also believe that learning to subtract simply takes more time.  I am eager to complete the post tests with students next week to see what kind of progress they have made.
