Numeracy for All Learners
Teaching Mathematics to Students with Special Needs



October 2020 | 224 pages | Corwin UK

Numeracy for All Learners is a wide-ranging overview of how Math Recovery® theory, pedagogy, and tools can be applied meaningfully to special education to support learners with a wide range of educational needs.

It builds on the first six books in the Math Recovery series and presents knowledge, resources, and examples for teachers working with students with special needs from Pre-K through secondary school.

Key topics include: dyscalculia, what contemporary neuroscience tells us about mathematical learning, and differentiating assessment and instruction effectively to meet the needs of all students in an equitable framework.

 
Chapter 1: The Learning Framework in Number for the Classroom
 
Chapter 2: Professional Principles and Practices
 
Chapter 3: Good Instruction for All Students
 
Chapter 4: Numeracy and Functional Mathematics
 
Chapter 5: Assessing Students with Disabilities
 
Chapter 6: Using the Learning Framework in Number to Write Individualized Education Programs
