Mathematics Strategies that Work for Struggling Mathematicians
Mathematics Strategies
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) emphasize the importance of teaching whole-number concepts—especially place value and computation—at the elementary level (Rojo & Wakim, 2023). For learners with learning disabilities (LD) in math, the teaching of whole-number concepts is particularly important.
Research shows that mathematics interventions must focus on building a deep understanding of place value through visual representations and manipulatives like base-10 blocks (Bouck et al., 2017).
