Mathematical Word-Problem-Solving Instruction for Students with Mild Disabilities and Students At Risk for Math Failure: A Research Synthesis.
Jitendra, Asha; Xin, Yan Ping
Journal of Special Education, v30 n4 p412-38 Win 1997
Summarizes 14 mathematics word-problem-solving intervention studies for elementary and secondary students with disabilities or who were at-risk for math failure. Interventions included representational techniques (diagramming), strategy-training procedures (cognitive and metacognitive), task variations (sequencing and word-problem context), and computer-assisted instruction. With one exception, all studies reported positive effects of intervention. (Author/CR)
