About this book

This book provides prospective and practicing teachers with research insights into the mathematical difficulties of students with learning disabilities and classroom practices that address these difficulties. This linkage between research and practice celebrates teachers as learners of their own students’ mathematical thinking, thus contributing an alternative view of mathematical progression in which students are taught conceptually. 
The research-based volume presents a unique collaboration among researchers in special education, psychology, and mathematics education from around the world. It reflects an ongoing work by members of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) and the North American Chapter of the PME Working Groups.  
The authors of chapters in this book, who have been collaborating extensively over the past 7 years, are from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 

Reviews

“The works and research presented provide prospective and practicing teachers with research insights into the mathematical difficulties of students with learning disabilities in mathematics (LDM) and with classroom best practices that address these difficulties. I highly recommend this book for those teachers around the world who teach mathematics in the special education field. This book is rich with ideas from basic counting ideas to algebra and how to best help students with critical thinking skills.” (Peter Olszewski, MAA Reviews, May 16, 2023)
