Hankes, Judith E. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1996
Relates Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) with anecdotes of learning-disabled students in primary grades. Message of CGI is that when teachers begin listening to children, they realize how much more students know than they recognized previously. Teachers can achieve goals of compensatory mathematics education by building on this knowledge. (SKS)

Cawley, John F. – Journal of Reading, Writing, and Learning Disabilities International, 1987
The article offers an interpretation of "specially designed instruction" in arithmetic computation for learning disabled students which challenges overreliance on paper-and-pencil methodologies, rule-oriented procedures, and traditional sequences. Long division is used as an example of developing conceptual understanding to undergird computation.…
