The National Center for Leadership in Intensive Intervention (NCLII), a consortium funded by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), prepares special education leaders to become experts in research on intensive intervention for students with disabilities who have persistent and severe academic (e.g., reading and math) and behavioral…

Students with disabilities often face barriers that hinder their capacity to access general education curricula and show their learning. Modifications to curricula and lesson plans can help reduce these barriers. Modifications are changes to what instruction is delivered--which tasks students complete and what content they learn. Previous research…

This guide outlines teacher preparation, professional association, and Common Core State Standards aligned to an "interdisciplinary collaborative mathematics" approach using Junior Achievement educational programs within a Math Methods course to train pre-service elementary teachers to teach math.

Presents a process for reflecting that a school community of elementary teachers can organize and adapt to suit their own needs in teaching mathematics. Shares what can be learned by participating in this process together. (ASK)

The reform movement in mathematics education calls for students to engage in problem solving, to discuss and communicate their thinking, and to develop meaningful understandings. This paper reports a case study of a fourth-grade class in line with the reform call, emphasizing the process of change the teacher experienced and the support she…

Twenty-two mathematics educators were asked to list the ten most important books for a classroom teacher of elementary school mathematics to read. One hundred fifteen books are listed; 11 titles were named five or more times. (MNS)

The problem-solving strategy of making an organized list is highlighted, with a problem and suggestions for teaching the strategy. Other suggestions for teaching problem solving are then presented. (MNS)

A plea is made for the mathematics education community to support the need for elementary school mathematics specialists. Roles of such specialists in primary as well as intermediate grades are listed. (MNS)

This book demonstrates how elementary school teachers have involved their students in the process of learning mathematics in ways that are consistent with the standards established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The innovative strategies described have in common that they involve students actively in their own learning.…

To determine what happens during a mathematics lesson, a questionnaire was designed with questions on the lesson, materials, interruptions, evaluation, and routine duties. Of 100 questionnaires distributed, 94 were returned, by teachers in kindergarten through grade 7 and special education classes. About half the teachers had taught less than five…

The focus is on the problem-solving strategy of find a pattern, with a problem explored to illustrate how to use the strategy. Other tips concern classroom climate, checking skills, research, and type of problems. (MNS)

The strategy of making a table is highlighted. A problem is given and the procedure for setting up and using the table are explained. Other suggestions for teaching problem solving are also included. (MNS)

Changes in the Chinese educational policy are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on academic learning in general and mathematics and science education in particular. The structure of schooling, the child's view, a teacher's life, and the mathematics curriculum are each described. (MNS)

Presents literature-based activities that take division off the workbook pages and place it in situations to which children can relate. The activities help students understand division, devise strategies, and solve problems in context. Both activities involve reading stories then using division to solve real-life problems for story characters. (SM)
