Abstract

Solve It! is a research-based instructional program for students who have difficulty solving mathematical word problems. Many of these students require particular help in understanding and using cognitive processes and self-regulation strategies that underlie effective and efficient problem solving. This article underscores the need to improve students' mathematical problem solving, describes the theoretical framework for the instructional program, reviews the research on Solve It!, presents an overview of the program, and discusses several practical issues related to its implementation. This mathematical problem-solving program has been successful for students with mathematical learning disabilities and, therefore, can be used in inclusive, general education classrooms as well as special education classes.
