National assessments suggest that many students do not display proficiency with fractions. Considering that time and materials are precious resources, many educators are looking to use technology to provide supplemental instruction with low demand on the instructor. The current study utilized a multiple-baseline design to examine the effects of the Motion Math: Bounce application on the fraction quantity comparison and number line placement skills of three fifthgrade students. Results indicate that Motion Math: Bounce improved the quantity comparison skills of all three participants and the number line skills of one participant. Additionally, all three participants made improvements from pre-to posttest on a measure of general fraction knowledge. Implications for future research and intervention implementation are discussed.Nicole M. McKevett, M.A., NCSP is a doctoral candidate in the school psychology program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Nicole's research interests include data-based decision making to inform instructional decisions for students with needs in math and writing. She is also interested in supporting districts in managing data systems for effective implementation of MTSS.Kourtney R. Kromminga, M.A. is a doctoral student in the school psychology program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Kourtney's research examines the effects of technology-mediated interventions on student performance when compared to traditional evidence-based interventions in mathematics. Kourtney is currently funded through an Office of Special Education Programs training grant which prepares students for future faculty positions.Amelia Ruedy, B.A., is a school psychology specialist student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Amelia's research interests include academic interventions for students with autism spectrum disorders and factors that contribute to student responsiveness for school-based interventions.Rachel Roesslein, M.A., is a school psychology graduate student at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Her research interests center around development of academic interventions for struggling learners, particularly in the area of fraction learning within mathematics. She is currently working in Minneapolis Public Schools providing school psychological services.Kristin Running, M.A., is a doctoral student in the school psychology program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Kristin's research interests revolve around the effectiveness of academic interventions within an MTSS framework and the use of evidence-based instructional principles in interventions and core curricula.Dr. Robin S. Codding, Ph.D., is an associate professor of School Psychology at Northeastern University. Dr. Codding's work emphasizes academic interventions and associated assessment for data-based decision making, particularly in the area of mathematics. Dr. Codding was recognized as the co-recipient of the Lightner Witmer Award by APA Division 16 in 2010 for this work. She has published has over 65 peer-revi...

Children at risk for and with disabilities across grade levels require instructional supports in one or more of three central academic areas: (a) reading, (b) mathematics, and (c) writing. In order for teachers, instructional specialists, interventionists, consultants, and other support professionals to provide assistance to children struggling with core academic content, it is necessary for these professionals to have access to empirically supported practices. Evaluation of the special education and school psychology peer review literature indicates that intervention studies represent between 15.9% and 11.1% of all published articles, respectively (Mastropieri et al., 2009;Villarreal, Castro, Umaña, & Sullivan, 2017). Not surprisingly, more peer reviewed research has evaluated reading interventions or strategies than math or writing, with the least amount of empirical support available for writing interventions. Meta-analysis offers an important tool to bridge the research-to-practice gap by providing practitioners and researchers alike with
