The Method to My Madness: How Am I Going to Increase Students' Basic Mathematics Fact Fluency?

As I begin to figure out my method for going about this action research project I know that I will be using quantitative data because I will be collecting scores from students each week.  I randomly selected one of my time-and-a-half classes because they have similar abilities.

How did I randomly select a class?

To find out click this link!  My two classes were each assigned a number and the app did the deciding for me.

Independent Vs. Dependent Variables:

My independent variable will be the treatment using the DPR (Detect, Practice & Repair) strategy and the dependent variable will be the weekly scores the students generate.

Which research design will I use?

I am thinking my research will be a comparison using a hybrid of the one-group pretest and post-test and static-group comparison.  I want both the control and experimental group to take a pretest, followed by the treatment to the experimental group and finally a post-test to both groups.  Throughout the year I give weekly homework assignments for students to practice their math facts so I would like to see the difference class instruction on mathematics facts will have over the control group just getting homework assignments.
