Teaching Children Who Struggle With Mathematics A Systematic Approach to Analysis and Correction

Until now, no book has dedicated itself more fully to addressing the cognitive needs of children in grades 1 through 6 who underachieve in mathematics.Teaching Children Who Struggle with Mathematics: A Systematic Approach to Analysis and Correctionis designed to help teachers assess these students' individual abilities and characteristics as well as choose appropriate and effective instructional strategies. The book is rich with case studies of underachieving math students and assorted examples of how teachers can assess and differentiate instruction for these students through the use of two key text features--the Data Analysis Sheet (DAs) and the Math Improvement Plan (MIP). The DAS is used to record observed student behavior in a variety of relevant categories and to use such recordings to assess the student's math skills. The. MIP then provides an individualized plan for intervention and instruction upon completion of the DAs. When used together, the .DAS and MIP give teachers two powerful tools for properly assessing and teaching students who struggle with mathematics.Sherman, Helene J. is the author of 'Teaching Children Who Struggle With Mathematics A Systematic Approach to Analysis and Correction', published 2004 under ISBN 9780130984630 and ISBN 0130984639.
