The purpose of the study was to determine if mathematics-related music had any effect on mathematic fact fluency for third-grade students ( N = 38) in the southeastern United States. Students were divided into control and treatment groups. The treatment group received mathematics-related music twice a week for 15 min. Results were determined using pre and posttest scores, student engagement checklist and student surveys. The intervention had a medium effect ( d = 0.41) on Mathematic Computational Fluency scores for students receiving mathematics-related music. Mathematics-related music increased scores approximately 16%. Student engagement was significantly different when participating in mathematics-related music when compared to mathematics instruction. The students' attitudes survey revealed that students enjoy music activities and basic mathematics computation.
Young children can learn about their own feelings and moods through listening to music, by singing songs, and by expressively moving to music. Music and song provide an enjoyable way to introduce young children to the songs and tales of other cultures as well as familiarizing children with words in other languages. A listing of folk songs suitable for early childhood classrooms is provided to support teachers' use of music with children's singing and moving.
