An Evaluation of App-Based and Paper-Based Number Lines for Teaching Number Comparison
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weng, Pei-Lin; Bouck, Emily C. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
Number comparison is a fundamental skill required for academic and functional mathematics (e.g., time, money, purchasing) for students with disabilities. The most commonly used method to teach number comparison is number lines. Although historically paper number lines are used, app-based number lines may offer greater flexibility. This study…
