For the realm of this study, the researcher reviewed two separate mathematics programs that have been implemented within the school district to address both the needs of the students with learning disabilities and the requirements of the local and state assessments. The mathematics programs are designed with two different methods to meet the learning needs of the students. The Saxon Math program by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company aims to teach students using a spiraling method while the Ready Common Core program by Curriculum Associates uses language and standards-based methods. The programs are expected to help students achieve success at a rate comparable to their peers in reference to standardized assessments. This study will look at the effectiveness of the implemented mathematics curricula designed for the special education students in the learning support classroom in a middle school based on collected data. It will review the state achievement rate for both groups using the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) and also a local standardized assessment called the GMADE (Group Mathematics Assessment and Diagnostic Evaluation).
