Area: Fact Fluency
Strategy: The Taped Problems Intervention
Appropriate Grade Level: K-8
Procedures/Steps:
-Provide students with a worksheet of basic math facts (one-digit by onedigit addition, subtraction, multiplication or division computations)
-While they are completing the worksheet play a tape that has a recording of
the problems being read with the answers provided
-Repeat this until the student has mastered their facts and then move on to
another set of facts

Comments and/or tips:
-If the student gets the problem wrong have them cross out their answer and
fill in the correct one
-Once the student becomes faster at answering the facts have them try to
finish before the tape does
