Teaching Learners Who Struggle with Mathematics: Systematic Intervention and Remediation, 2/E by Helene J. Sherman, Lloyd I. Richardson, George J. Yard, and George J. Yard	List Price: $39.00
How can you address the cognitive needs of your students who underachieve in mathematics?  Teaching Learners Who Struggle with Mathematics is based on the premise that when teachers and parents focus on how their students learn best, rather than repeatedly offering the same or very similar instructional methods and materials, progress can be made.  To achieve this goal, the authors present a systematic, three-step approach to assess students’ math strengths and weaknesses and plan instruction accordingly, allowing you to meet your students’ individual needs Case Studies of underachieving math students illustrate how to diagnose error patterns and strategies for remediation. Instructional Activities provided at the end of each chapter can be used to help reinforce mathematics knowledge. Discussion Questions ask readers to think critically about chapter content, analyze student work samples, and complete a Math Improvement Plan (MIP) based on students’ needs. NEW! Chapter on Time and Money addresses this critically important topic for students of all ages.  It explains why many learners struggle with measures of time and money and also provides important tools for teaching students how to understand and use these concepts.  1.    The Dissimilar Learner and Mathematics Instruction A Problem and a Solution The Learner-Centered Approach Why Do Students Struggle with Mathematics?
