Table 4 Mean accuracy (percent correct) on assessments in Experiment 1, split by condition and question content

From: The use and effectiveness of colorful, contextualized, student-made material for elementary mathematics instruction

	Test during instruction		Delayed test
Question Content	Student-made art (n = 15)	Pre-made generic (n = 12)	Student-made art (n = 15)	Pre-made generic (n = 12)
Labeling	83.3 (20.4)	87.5 (16.9)	69.2 (25.1)	92.7 (6.4)^b
Magnitude Comparison	65.6 (20.4)	83.3 (18.8)^a	57.6 (15.9)	68.1 (20.9)
"How many"	56.7 (31.4)	84.7 (18.1)^a	−	−
Estimation	−	−	54.9 (26.3)	69.9 (24.6)
Total Score	66.7 (14.7)	84.9 (14.5)^b	59.9 (14.7)	74.4 (16.9)^a

Note: Standard deviations appear in parentheses.
^aSignificant differences between conditions at p < 0.05
^bSignificant differences between conditions at p < 0.01
