Word problem-solving (WPS) poses a significant challenge for many students, particularly those with mathematics difficulties (MD), hindering their overall mathematical development. To improve WPS proficiency, providing individualized and intensive interventions is critical. This umbrella review examined 11 medium- to high-quality meta-analyses to…

Download full textWang, Jing; Lopez-Reyna, Norma; Kim, Sunyoung – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2023
Mathematical word problems present various challenges for students, including English learners. Research on word problem-solving interventions for elementary English learners with or at risk for mathematics disabilities/difficulties was reviewed. A systematic search of studies conducted between 2012 and 2022 yielded a total of 14 research studies…

Nelson, Gena; Crawford, Angela; Hunt, Jessica; Park, Soyoung; Leckie, Emily; Duarte, Alex; Brafford, Tasia; Ramos-Duke, Mary; Zarate, Kary – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
The purpose of the systematic review of mathematics intervention syntheses was to identify patterns and gaps in content areas, instructional strategies, effect sizes, and definitions of learning disabilities (LD), mathematics LD (MLD), and mathematics difficulty (MD). Using rigorous inclusion criteria, we evaluated 36 syntheses that included 836…

Lein, Amy E.; Jitendra, Asha K.; Harwell, Michael R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
This meta-analysis synthesized the available empirical evidence on the impact of interventions on the development and enhancement of mathematical word problem solving skills for K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD) and those with mathematics difficulties (MD). A total of 33 studies met inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. After…

Peng, Peng; Namkung, Jessica; Barnes, Marcia; Sun, Congying – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to determine the relation between mathematics and working memory (WM) and to identify possible moderators of this relation including domains of WM, types of mathematics skills, and sample type. A meta-analysis of 110 studies with 829 effect sizes found a significant medium correlation of mathematics and WM, r…

Hord, Casey; Xin, Yan Ping – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The authors completed a narrative review of studies of mathematics interventions from 1996 to 2010 for helping elementary school students with difficulties in mathematics solve word problems. Key instructional
components supported by research are teaching cognitive and metacognitive skills; schema-based instruction focusing on semantic analysis,…

Peer reviewedBabbitt, Beatrice C. – Intervention in School and Clinic, 1993
This article uses a cognitive problem-solving model to explore the application of hypermedia authoring software to mathematics in general and to mathematical problem solving in particular. Hypermedia is presented as a method of exploring alternative solution processes to remediate or prevent learning problems. (JDD)
