“…All of the studies included in the review employed instructional strategies that have been shown to be effective in teaching academic skills, including mathematics, to students with MSD (Browder et al, 2008; Hudson, Browder, & Wood, 2013; King, Lemons, & Davidson, 2016; Spooner et al, 2012). However, findings indicated that researchers are increasingly examining instructional approaches that have been found to be effective in teaching mathematics to students without disabilities including the use of the CRA instructional approach, schema-based instruction, anchored instruction, and the use of technology (Bottge et al, 2003; Jitendra et al, 2012; NCTM, 2000; What Works Clearinghouse, 2012; Yakubova et al, 2016). This is a promising finding because it shows that researchers are becoming more cognizant of the need to teach the conceptual processes that undergird the successful use of mathematics in day-to-day activities including problem solving, reasoning and proof, communicating mathematical ideas, making mathematical connections, and representing mathematical ideas (NCTM, 2000).…”
