Strategies for Improving Student Outcomes in Mathematics
Issues related to mathematics..
"At present there is no reliable and valid measure that is universally accepted to describe math learning disability (Lolinski, 2017, pp. 110)
Research about MLDs is focused on numbers, accounting, and arithmetic with little attention paid to spatial mathematics (110)
Solve it!
"a cognitive strategy instruction that works on the framework that successful problem-solving mathematics is predicted upon a persons ability to select and utilize appropriate strategies for understanding and soling problems" (111)
Step one) read for understanding
Step 2) paraphrase the problem
Step 3) visualize the problem
Step 4) Hypothesize the process for solving the problem
Step 5) Estimate the answer
Step 7) check the answer
Step 6) Compute the problem
Algebra
Recommendation 1: Use Solved Problems to Engage Learners
Problems should directly reflect the lesson for the day (123)
Students should discuss solved problems and their structure (123)
Questions should lead to discussions (124)
Recommendation #2: Use the Structure of Equations
"Structure of equations refers to the number, type, and position of quantities, including variables, operations, existence of equality or inequality, and simpler expressions nested inside more complex ones (125).
Utilize proper mathematical language
Use diagrams to denote the underlying structure
Recommendation #3: Intentionally Choose Specific Strategies
"It is recommended that teachers instruct students to recognize and choose strategies to solve specific problems (128).
