Peer reviewedMiller, Susan Peterson; Mercer, Cecil D. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1993
Nine students (ages 7 to 11) with math disabilities were effectively taught using an instructional sequence that moved from the concrete to the semiconcrete to the abstract. Subjects needed between three and seven lessons using manipulative devices and pictures before being able to do abstract-level problems. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedHasselbring, Ted S.; And Others – Focus on Exceptional Children, 1988
Computer-based drill and practice can develop math automaticity in learning handicapped children, but only when prior training for developing a declarative knowledge network is implemented. An experimental math program called "Fast Facts" successfully developed the recall of basic math facts in 160 mildly handicapped and nonhandicapped…
