This bulletin provides a review of research related to teaching mathematics to disadvantaged students at the elementary school level. The review is organized around a set of questions which are appropriate to ask in relation to disadvantaged students. These questions include: 1) What is the mathematical status of the environmentally disadvantaged?…

This workbook is designed as an easy-to-read, slower-paced mathematics text for students who have learning, reading, and language problems. Helping students fulfill mathematics requirements for graduation is a goal; the book can be used as the core or supplement to the mathematics curriculum in mainstreamed or special education classrooms, in…

Suggestions for organizing and implementing a math-lab approach are given. Devices useful with the topic of place value and manipulations with the geoboard are discussed extensively. Many other materials are listed and referenced. (LS)

This is a teacher's guide to an easy-to-read, slower-paced mathematics text designed for students who have learning, reading, and language problems. What fractions are, how to find equivalent fractions, how to simplify fractions, and computation with fractions are included. Each lesson in the eight units focuses on only one major concept, and…

Three examples of teacher and student exchanges in mathematics classes are presented which typify the qualitative difference between children's thinking and adult's thinking. The cases explored also illustrate differences caused by cultural factors. (JP)

Specific programs, representing a variety of philosophical and curricular approaches, that have promise for various groups of slow learners are described by their directors. (LS)

Eight sample lesson plans for slow learners'' are used to illustrate a variety of approaches, objectives, topics, grade levals, and purposes. (LS)

Two related examples demonstrate how to conduct high-quality interventions and consultation case studies with integrity. Case studies utilized home note and consultation-based interventions to improve task completion and accuracy in mathematics for primary grade students demonstrating performance difficulties. Both interventions increased math…
