- Abstract
Summary: Background : Arithmetic fluency describes the ability to quickly provide many correct answers in a narrowly defined period of time for simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division questions with single-digit numbers. Good arithmetic fluency is associated with a reduced working memory load, and results in better performance in other mathematical domains (including fractions). Method : In the present study, the arithmetic fluency of students in fifth grade is assessed at four different time-points. Furthermore, the influence of intelligence, reading fluency, learning behaviours (assessed by teachers), gender and socio-economic status is analysed. Results and discussion : The research results show that arithmetic fluency steadily increases in the fifth grade. Although most variance is explained by previous arithmetic fluency, reading fluency were also found to be significant predictors. Future studies should consider the importance of arithmetic fluency for other mathematical skills in secondary school, as well as the influence of specific predictors.
