dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this research was to identify and describe elementary students' attitudes toward and accuracy of math computation skills following implementation of the Math Blaster Software Program in the math curriculum. A group of forty-one third grade students utilized the Math Blaster Program each day over a three week period. Assessment scores, archival data, surveys, and observations were used to gather information to answer the research questions. The results indicated the program positively impacted students' achievement scores in math computation. Students also showed increased motivation associated with implementation of the program as well. A review of the literature related to math achievement and computer use accompanies the research findings. The results were communicated to the faculty and administration through a workshop in which a power point presentation and demonstration of the Math Blaster Software were presented.	en_US
