Effects of a tablet game intervention on simple addition and subtraction fluency in first graders

作者：

Highlights：

• Can a tablet game training playfully promote arithmetic fluency in grade 1 children?

• Children enjoyed playing with the tablet game.

• Fluency was not enhanced for Arabic-addition and subtraction, nor for dot-addition.

• Fluency, however, was enhanced for subtraction with dots.

• Calculation speed seems to be stimulated rather than retrieval speed or memorization.
