Peer reviewedMiller, Susan Peterson; Mercer, Cecil D. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1993
This article presents a graduated word problem sequence in mathematics, beginning with simple words; progressing to phrases, sentences, and paragraphs; advancing to paragraph word problems with extraneous information; and finally having students create their own word problems. Results from 67 elementary students with learning disabilities support…

Peer reviewedJitendra, Asha; Xin, Yan Ping – Journal of Special Education, 1997
Summarizes 14 mathematics word-problem-solving intervention studies for elementary and secondary students with disabilities or who were at-risk for math failure. Interventions included representational techniques (diagramming), strategy-training procedures (cognitive and metacognitive), task variations (sequencing and word-problem context), and…
