| Abstract: | Students with disabilities (SWD) lag behind their peers without disabilities at all grade levels in mathematics. This gap is more pronounced in Grade 8, with 65 percent of SWD performing below the basic performance level compared to 21 percent of their peers without disabilities (U.S. Department of Education, 2013). Identifying proven instructional practices and strategies that will close these persistent achievement gaps is a challenge facing nearly every school district in the U.S. today. The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) has funded 15 projects that focus on mathematics in special education. This report presents a summary of mathematics research funded by NCSER. [This report was summarized by Robert Ochsendorf.] |
