The "count-by" technique of multiplication was taught to a fourth grade student with learning disabilities. The student learned to count by numbers not typically taught (e.g., fours, sevens, and eights). The method resulted in substantial increases in correct multiplications performed per minute, which were maintained and generalized to…

Describes a method of teaching the order of mathematical operations based upon the psychological theory of conceptual generalization. (MDH)

The general combinatorial problem of counting the number of regions into which the interior of a circle is divided by a family of lines is considered. A general formula is developed and its use is illustrated in two situations. (PK)

A multisensory program using a counting technique was effective in teaching math skills to three elementary students with mild disabilities. Results showed significant gains in acquisition of target skills as well as maintenance and generalization to novel math problems. (Author/DB)
