McConnochie, Jan; Sneath, Greg
Down Syndrome Research and Practice, v12 n1 p34-37 Jul 2007
Katrina is 10 years old and has Down syndrome. She is making good progress with learning numbers and mathematics. We describe how Katrina has learned number concepts and arithmetic skills over several years. We highlight the influence of early learning habits, visual supports, motivation and practice, and the uses made of different number teaching schemes. (Contains 3 figures)
