    Abstract

    The Counting On program was designed to support the professional learning of teachers in identifying and addressing the learning needs of students in the middle years who have difficulties with the early mathematical concepts and skills. The program has undergone major changes such as the inclusion of Newman's Error Analysis in 2007. Newman (1977, 1983) defined five specific reading skills crucial to performance on mathematical word problems. In this paper data will be examined arising from the Counting On evaluations focussing on student outcomes and how teachers have used NEA as a remedial and general classroom pedagogical strategy.
