Teaching Mathematics to Students with Mild-to-Moderate Mental Retardation: A Review of the Literature.

Butler, Frances M.; Miller, Susan P.; Lee, Kit-Hung; Pierce, Thomas

Mental Retardation, v39 n1 p20-31 Feb 2001

A literature search to identify and analyze mathematics interventions for students with mild-to-moderate mental retardation found the focus of instruction has shifted since 1989 from basic skills instruction to computation and problem-solving instruction. Techniques such as constant-time delay, peer tutoring, time trials, and direct instruction have proven effective. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
