Session Summary

Improving Mathematical Practices for Students With Disabilities 1

Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Society needs people who can think and communicate about mathematical properties and ideas and
apply them to new and unique situations. Instructional strategies must focus on improving both what students know about mathematics and how they are able to engage in mathematical reasoning which would improve academic and employment opportunities for students. This session examines best ways to teach mathematical concepts and reasoning to students with autism and learning disabilities. The five papers included in this session focus on students beyond the elementary years.
