Nationally, there is a rise in students with multidimensional identities--as newcomers, emergent bilinguals, students of color, and/or those with disabled and neurodiverse identities--in schools who are disproportionately represented in intervention programs and lower-tracked mathematics pathways. This article leverages the incredible power that…

In this synthesis, we analyzed 10 prealgebraic reasoning interventions for students with mathematics difficulty (MD) in Grades 6 through 8. All interventions focused on one or more prealgebraic concepts including integer operations, algebraic expressions and equations, and functions. Of the 10 intervention studies, six employed single-case design…

Currently, technology has become the core of development and prosperity processes in various sectors of the world, including the educational sector. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly created many problems in the educational sector, especially when the education system was completely closed, and different countries of the world sought to mitigate the…
