Yang, Xuan; Xin, Yan Ping – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
During the past 20 years, numerous studies examining the use of problem posing in mathematics instruction have documented positive outcomes in terms of students' problem-solving skills, creativity, and attitudes and beliefs regarding the study of mathematics. However, despite these promising results, problem posing in mathematics instruction has…

Gilley, Deidre; Root, Jenny; Saunders, Alicia; Cox, Sarah; Bryan, Cara – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2023
There is a growing body of evidence on the effectiveness of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) for teaching word problem-solving alongside other important skills, such as self-determination and mathematical discourse and reasoning. Yet the majority of studies have not been conducted in naturalistic instructional arrangements. We report…

Kong, Jennifer E.; Yan, Christy; Serceki, Allison; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
This meta-analysis assessed the effect of word-problem-solving interventions on the word-problem-solving accuracy of students identified as having a learning disability (LD) or at risk for an LD in kindergarten to the sixth grade. Eighteen randomized control group designed studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, word-problem-solving…

Hord, Casey; Hoyng, Clayton – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2021
In this paper, we make a case for the importance of teaching secondary school level algebra to students with learning disabilities (LD). Furthermore, we illustrate how they struggle and present best-practices on how they are best supported. We demonstrate effective ways of how teachers can show students with LD how to solve challenging algebra…
