This article describes teaching mathematics to students with disabilities using "My Math," a three-component software program consisting of "shells" into which students or teachers insert content. The three components include computation problems, arithmetic word problems, and arithmetic story problems. The content of the program is discussed,…

This article describes a way to provide systematic connections between mathematics and science for students with disabilities through hands-on lessons, word problems, and opportunities for problem-solving. Sample units are presented that integrate science and mathematics at the K-8 level and explore interrelationships among multiplication and…

This article describes a systematic approach to communication appropriate for nearly all topics of elementary mathematics for students with disabilities. A matrix illustrates the interactive unit, in which the teacher provides input on concepts, routines, or problems by either manipulating, displaying, saying, or writing and the student responds…

This article suggests the acceptance and promotion by special educators of the four basic process standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and restructuring of the Council's content standards to make them compatible with the developmental growth of students with mild disabilities.

Matrix organization can be used to construct math word problems for children with mild disabilities. Matrix organization specifies the characteristics of problems, such as problem theme or setting, operations, level of computation complexity, reading vocabulary level, and need for classification. A sample scope and sequence and 16 sample word…
