Abstract	Learning to compute with fractions is a major challenge for many students and especially for students with disabilities (SWD). Phase 1 of this study employed a randomized pretest-posttest comparison design to test the effects of two versions of formative assessment combined with an instructional program called Fractions at Work. In one condition, teachers used technology-assisted prompts to assess student performance and remediate errors. In the comparison condition, teachers gave students the same items for assessing progress but used their own methods of reteaching. Results indicated no difference between the two methods. However, pretest-to-posttest gain scores were significantly higher on all three measures regardless of type of formative assessment, and students maintained much of what they had learned. Phase 2 examined issues related to instructional dosage. Students who received additional weeks of instruction scored significantly higher than students who went back to their business-as-usual curriculum.
