Contextualizing Mathematics: Teaching Problem Solving to Secondary Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Root, Jenny R.; Hammons, Nannette; Saunders, Alicia F.; Gilley, Deidre
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, v56 n6 p442-457 Dec 2018
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent mathematics intervention (modified schema-based instruction, video anchors, and goal setting with self-graphing) on mathematical problem-solving skills of secondary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Three participants were taught to solve percent of change word problems, which involved calculating the discounted price of an item or activity after using a coupon and then determining whether they had enough money to make the purchase. Results of the multiple probe across participant design indicate a functional relation between the intervention and problem solving, and all participants were able to generalize skills from word problems to real-world stimuli (i.e., coupons, receipts, menus). Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
