Mathematics Instruction for Elementary Students with Learning Disabilities.
Thornton, Carol A.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n2 p142-50 Mar-Apr 1997
Recent research in mathematics instruction underscores the importance of problem solving and higher-level thinking. This article presents four themes in instruction for students with learning disabilities: (1) provide a broad, balanced mathematics curriculum; (2) engage students in meaningful problem tasks; (3) accommodate diverse learning styles; and (4) encourage students to discuss and justify their problem-solving strategies and solutions.
