Abstract(in English) The ability to calculate fluently is one of the basic academic skills, but certain students have difficulty acquiring it, such as those with developmental dyscalculia. In this study, we focused on the visual perception of numbers as a factor related to computational fluency, and examined whether enlarging the letters of the numbers or widening the line spacing in a calculation task would increase computational fluency. Three hundred and eighty-six junior high school students were asked to perform a two-digit addition or subtraction task in which font size and line width were manipulated, and the number of correct answers per minute was used as a measure of computational fluency. The results showed that enlarging the font size increased the computational fluency of all participants, and that widening the line spacing contributed to the fluency of participants with low computational skills. Based on the results, the individual optimal learning environment was discussed.
