  ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a new intervention program with primary school children who show difficulties in solving simple multiplication problems. 64 fourth-grade children completed an eight-week long training with a pre-, post-, and follow-up test. Performance on a standardized test for arithmetic operations and a computer test were used to measure children’s knowledge. Results show the overall and long-term effectiveness of a holistic approach to multiplication fact training. All participants of the experimental groups show a significant increase in correct answers and faster reaction times, with the effects being stable over time. The program helped children build a structured multiplication fact network, with untrained facts being solved more quickly and correctly after the intervention.
