Fourth graders needed for math word problems study

From: Learning and Development Lab

Researchers are currently looking for fourth graders to participate in the Virginia Tech Math Study (IRB # 25-565). The project is focused on learning more about how fourth graders solve word problems. 

Participation involves one 60-minute video-recorded session for the child and a brief survey completed by the parent (about 15 minutes). Children will complete word problems, along with other math and reading activities. Parents and children must speak and read English in order to participate.

Compensation is $20 cash, and there will be prizes available for the child throughout the session. If you and your child are interested, fill out this form.
