Drill and Practice

What is drill and practice?

“Students need well-timed practice of the skills they are learning so that they are not handicapped in developing the other strands of proficiency…When students practice procedures they do not understand, there is a danger they will practice incorrect procedures, thereby making it more difficult to learn correct ones.”(Kilpatrick J., Swafford, J. and Findell, B. 2001)
Bright, Harvey and Wheeler (1979), and Rogers and Miller (1984) found that games are effective for assisting students to acquire, practice, and transfer mathematical concepts and problem-solving abilities. Klein and Freitag (1991) found that the use of instructional games increases student interests, satisfaction, and continuing motivation.
