Teaching Learners Who Struggle with Mathematics: Systematic Intervention and Remediation

This book was written to give teachers the tools they need to help students go from believing they ";can’t do math"; to achieving real success and gaining confidence in their math skills. This can be accomplished if parents and teachers, instead of trying the same thing over and over again, focus on how their students learn best. To do this, the authors present a systematic, three-step approach on how to assess student’s strengths and weaknesses and then plan instruction accordingly. The three-step plan involves: 1.
