411-430p. Abstract: We examined the associations of cognitive skills, math-related emotionsand beliefs, and gender with responses to an arithmetic fluency interven-tion. Elementary school children with dysfluent arithmetic skills (N¼69) par-ticipated in an arithmetic fluency intervention (with and without self-efficacy support) implemented in small groups in schools for 12 weeks.Hierarchical regression models including cognitive skills or math-relatedemotions and beliefs predicted 21% to 50% of the variation in the inter-vention response, i.e., improvement in arithmetic fluency. Cognitive skillswere associated with the response mainly among boys, whereas math-related emotions and beliefs explained more among girls. Thus, both cog-nitive and non-cognitive factors and their interaction with gender shouldbe considered when identifying non-responders who may need more indi-vidually tailored support at school. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Arithmetic fluency | cognitiveskills | gender differences | math-related emotions 0022-0973 https://doi.org/10.1080/00220973.2023.2219219 https://doi.org/10.1080/00220973.2023.2219219 250115 20250116112508.0
