Teaching Mathematics Meaningfully: Solutions for Reaching Struggling Learners

by David H. Allsopp, Maggie M. Kyger, LouAnn H. Lovin

Making math concepts understandable is a challenge one thats more complex when a classroom includes students with learning difficulties. With this highly practical resource, teachers will have just what they need to teach math with confidence for grades K-12: research-based strategies that really work with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, or mild cognitive disabilities. This guidebook helps educators understand why some students struggle; review the Big Ideas of math with a useful primer on major mathematical concepts and processes; directly address students learning barriers with lesson plans, strategies, and photocopiable forms; and check their own strengths and needs with a thought-provoking questionnaire on their current teaching practices.
