Packed with effective instructional strategies, this book explores why certain K-5 students struggle with math and provides a framework for helping these learners succeed. The authors present empirically validated practices for supporting students with disabilities and others experiencing difficulties in specific areas of math, including problem solving, early numeracy, whole-number operations, fractions, geometry, and algebra. Concrete examples, easy-to-implement lesson-planning ideas, and connections to state standards, in particular the Common Core standards, enhance the book's utility. Also provided is invaluable guidance on planning and delivering multi-tiered instruction and intervention.

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. This book is designed for aspiring and practicing K-6 teachers who will work or are working with students in need of remediation and intervention with common mathematical concepts students struggle with most, including place value, addition and subtraction of whole numbers, multiplication, division, fractions, and time and money. This book analyzes the roots and causes of frequent error patterns in student work and offers implementable solutions for solving them and teaching lifelong math skills. A Data Analysis Sheet is presented as an example for each problem area and followed by a Math Improvement Plan that offers guidance on how to instruct students in need of additional intervention and prepare them with lifelong mathematics skills
Teaching Learners Who Struggle with Mathematics
Highly regarded by instructors in past editions for its sequencing of topics and extensive set of exercises, the latest edition of Abstract Algebra retains its concrete approach with its gentle introduction to basic background material and its gradual increase in the level of sophistication as the student progresses through the book. Abstract concepts are introduced only after a careful study of important examples. Beachy and Blair’s clear narrative presentation responds to the needs of inexperienced students who stumble over proof writing, who understand definitions and theorems but cannot do the problems, and who want more examples that tie into their previous experience. The authors introduce chapters by indicating why the material is important and, at the same time, relating the new material to things from the student’s background and linking the subject matter of the chapter to the broader picture. Building proficiency in learning mathematics by tailoring instruction to students’ specific misconceptions and learning needs is the backbone of this indispensable text, written for K–8 pre- and inservice teachers, as well tutors. An important theme is that long-term retention is based on a strong conceptual foundation of numeracy and on a well-designed learning environment. Each chapter deals with a different mathematics topic, including whole numbers, fractions, decimals, as well as time and money. Chapters also include examples of error patterns and specific, well-defined strategies and activities for diagnosis, prescription, and remediation. New to this edition is a chapter devoted to English language learners. The complexities of language barriers are delineated along with reasons that students struggle with learning English and mathematics at the same time. An audio file of common mathematics terms translated from English into most-often spoken languages by ELLs can be accessed at www.youareamathperson.com. Outstanding features: • Response to Intervention (RTI) model underpins discussions of differentiating instruction. • Mathematics content reflects components of the Common Core State Standards Initiative for Mathematics and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. • Case studies and student examples promote a sound understanding of learners’ varied cognitive, behavioral, and physical needs. • Discussion questions challenge readers to think more deeply about the application and utility of concepts related to the error patterns. • Step-by-step directions for interactive instructional classroom games and activities are provided to extend and enrich teaching and learning.
