"This is an excellent resource for teachers of K–12 math with struggling learners ... [The authors] present ideas that will generate attention, interest, and surprise among students, and thus will foster creative thinking." —Zafer Unal, Ph.D., assistant professor, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg

Making math concepts understandable is a challenge—one that's more complex when a classroom includes students with learning difficulties. With this highly practical resource, teachers will have just what they need to teach a critical content area with confidence: research-based strategies that really work with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, or mild cognitive disabilities. This urgently needed guidebook helps educators

• review the Big Ideas of math with a useful primer on major NCTM-endorsed mathematical concepts and processes
  
  
• directly address students' learning barriers with lesson plans, strategies, and photocopiable forms
  
  
• check their own strengths and needs with a thought-provoking questionnaire on their current teaching practices

With this timely book—filled with invaluable strategies adaptable for grades K–12—educators will know just what to teach and how to teach it to students with learning difficulties.
