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)

Dunlap, William F. – Academic Therapy, 1982
Readiness activities are described which are designed to help learning disabled (LD) students learn to perform computations in story problems. Activities proceed from concrete objects to numbers and involve the students in devising story problems. The language experience approach is incorporated with the enactive, iconic, and symbolic levels of…

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.…

Thornton, Carol A.; Toohey, Margaret A. – 1985
Guidelines are presented for modifying basic instruction of subtraction facts for elementary level learning disabled students. A detailed case study is used to illustrate a five-step structured program: (1) find a way to work it out; (2) add to check; (3) learn the partner facts; (4) study families of facts; (5) review and practice. The selection…
