Goldman, Susan R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1989
Experiments in strategy instruction for mathematics have been conducted using three models (direct instruction, self-instruction, and guided learning) applied to the tasks of computation and word problem solving. Results have implications for effective strategy instruction for learning disabled students. It is recommended that strategy instruction…

Engelmann, Siegfried; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
Shortcomings of mathematics curricula are described and research on the use of sameness analysis with learning-disabled and at-risk students is outlined. The paper then illustrates how to teach addition-subtraction and multiplication-division relationships and their interrelationships in the context of solving word problems in mathematics.…

The use of microcomputers to help the learning disabled increase their arithmetic skills is examined. The microcomputer should be used to aid the learning disabled student to practice the concepts taught by the teacher. Computer-aided instruction such as drill and practice may help the learning disabled student because it gives immediate feedback…
