Books & Publications
Its purpose is to provide an expanded framework for K-6
educators to use when teaching math to students who find it
difficult to grasp the concepts of math and to meet the
ultimate goal of providing standards-based math for all
students.

potential as mathematics learners through participation in the
classroom community.
The Accessible
Mathematics Project
http://www.alliance.brown.edu/investigations/spotlight/archive/mar05.html
The Accessible Mathematics Project's collaborative work with
teachers resulted in identifying five actions that are
critical to teaching meaningful mathematics to students with
disabilities in inclusive settings.
Inclusive
classroom: Mathematics and science instruction for students
with learning disabilities (It's just good teaching)
http://www.nwrel.org/comm/catalog/detail.asp?RID=11312
One of a three-part series focusing on inclusive math and
science classrooms, this publication highlights research-based
strategies for meeting the needs of students with learning
disabilities. To ensure that students engage meaningfully in
science inquiry and mathematics problem solving and all other
aspects of the mainstream classroom, teachers can use
strategies that draw on key principles of inclusion, special
education, multiculturalism, and standards-based reform.
