Tzu-Hsing Lin; Paul J. Riccomini; Zhigao Liang – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
This study reviews the literature on error patterns in mathematics among students with mathematics difficulty. We analyzed and synthesized the findings from 17 studies, focusing on the characteristics of error analysis studies, the mathematics topics examined, and the specific error patterns identified. The results revealed the following: (a) the…

Cook, Sara Cothren; Collins, Lauren W.; Morin, Lisa L.; Riccomini, Paul J. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2020
The purpose of this review is to determine the evidence base classification of schema-based instruction (SBI) as an intervention to improve word problem-solving outcomes in mathematics for students with learning or mathematics disabilities in Grades K-12. Using the Council for Exceptional Children's quality indicators (QIs) and standards, we…

Zheng, Xinhua; Flynn, Lindsay J.; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2013
This article provides a quantitative synthesis of the published literature on word problem solving intervention studies for children with math disabilities (MD). Seven group and eight single-subject design studies met inclusion criteria. Mean effect sizes ("ES"s) for solution accuracy for group design studies were 0.95 (SE = 0.19) for…

Chalfant, James C.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
The article describes a teacher support system model to help regular classroom teachers meet the needs of mainstreamed handicapped children. Based on a survey of perceived prerequisite skills and competencies for dealing with learning and behavior disorders, the Teacher Assistance Team concept was developed to provide a day-to-day peer…

Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The information processing approach to the assessment of learning disabled students' intellectual performance includes decisions about: (1) relationship between hypothesis testing and overall performance, (2) the knowledge base for strategy development, (3) coordination of search strategies, (4) metacognition, and (5) problem solving strategies.…

Trifiletti, John J.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1984
Mid-year assessment produced significantly greater results in mastered skills and problem solving by 12 learning disabled (LD) students with 40 minutes daily instruction in the SPARK-80 Computerized Mathematics System on Radio Shack terminals as opposed to nine LD students with traditional resource room mathematics instruction by experienced…

Winn, Judith A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1994
This article addresses the potential and the challenges of scaffolded instruction within the context of an exploratory study of the implementation of mediated collaborative problem solving. Implementation of the model for self-regulation with students experiencing reading difficulties is described, with suggestions for making scaffolded…

Mayer, Richard E. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1993
The time may be ripe for the fields of mathematics education, special education, and cognitive psychology to converge, with their respective focuses on mathematical problem solving, individual differences among students, and analysis of cognitive processes. Four articles on learning disabilities in mathematics are introduced, and a research agenda…

Zentall, Sydney S.; Ferkis, Mary Ann – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1993
This review of research finds that, when IQ and reading ability are controlled, "true" math deficits of students with learning disabilities, attention deficit disorders, and attention deficit hyperactive disorders (ADHD) are specific to mathematical concepts and problem types. Slow computation affects problem solving by increasing attentional…
