Challenging the Routines and Passivity That Characterize Arithmetic Instruction for Children with Mild Handicaps.

Parmar, Rene S.; Cawley, John F.

Remedial and Special Education (RASE), v12 n5 p23-32,43 Sep-Oct 1991

Normally achieving students (n=119) and students with mild handicaps (n=83) in grades 3-6 were instructed to create and answer computation items similar to samples given. Students with mild handicaps understood item characteristics enough to create like items, though averaging three years behind normal achievers. A sample instructional activity is described.
