Abstract

This chapter discusses the instructional methods in mathematics, in particular, as they pertain to students with learning disabilities (LDs). Mathematics represents an important area of instruction for all students. All students must demonstrate proficiency in mathematical skills and concepts that will enable them to function successfully beyond the classroom. They must be able to reason and problem solve using mathematical knowledge and to generalize this knowledge to real-life situations. For many students with LDs, mastery of these important skills occurs only after considerable and concentrated direct instruction. To comprehend numeration, students must develop an understanding of number concepts, number usage, number sense, and place value. This understanding can be developed by having students to manipulate physical objects and describe the represented numbers, to relate numbers to real-world experiences, and to experience numeration concepts in other areas of the curriculum, such as science and social studies.
