Kathryn Lavin Brave; Izzy Berman; Debita Basu; Alexis Szkotak – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2025
Manipulative-based instructional sequences have proven to be successful with students with disabilities. However, instruction must not only support the acquisition of conceptual and procedural knowledge but also build on students' strengths. This article describes how teachers can use manipulative-based instructional sequences to support the…

Mousley, Keith – American Annals of the Deaf, 2021
Fractions and the understanding of fraction concepts affect later conceptualization of advanced mathematics and affect how people live their everyday lives. Research shows that many deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) students have not mastered fraction skills even by the time they enter college. In the present article, the author looks at literature…
