Namkung, Jessica; Fuchs, Lynn – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Competence with fractions is foundational to acquiring more advanced mathematical skills. However, achieving competency with fractions is challenging for many students, especially for those with mathematics learning difficulties who often lack foundational skill with whole numbers. Teaching fractions is also challenging for many teachers as they…

Swain, Kristine; Bertini, Tamara D.; Coffey, Dara – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Research in the area of elementary mathematics has been limited in recent years. Direct instruction methods, including drill tasks, have been recommended for elementary students who have mathematics difficulties. This project involves two studies that examined the effectiveness of a specific direct instruction intervention, Folding-In, on the math…
