Students with Learning Difficulties
•More than 60% of struggling learners evidence difficulties in mathematics (Light & DeFries, 1995).
•Struggling learners at the elementary level have persistent difficulties at the secondary level, because the curriculum is increasingly sophisticated and abstract.

Memory and Conceptual Difficulties
Students experience problems:
•Remembering key principles;
•Understanding critical features of a concept;
•Because they attend to irrelevant features of a concept or problem.
![Page 10: Thinking, Doing, and Talking Mathematically: Planning Instruction for Diverse Learners](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070502/56813e58550346895da84d51/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Addressing Diverse Learners Through Core Instruction
Memory and Conceptual Difficulties
Thoroughly develop concepts,principles, and strategies usingmultiple representations.
Gradually develop knowledge and skills that move from simple to complex.
Include non-examples toteach students to focus onrelevant features.
Include a planful system of review.

• Develops student understanding from concrete to conceptual,
• Scaffolds support from teacher peer independent application.

Background Knowledge Deficits
Students experience problems:
•With a lack of early number sense;
•Due to inadequate instruction in key concepts, skills, and strategies;
•Due to a lack of fluency with key skills.
![Page 21: Thinking, Doing, and Talking Mathematically: Planning Instruction for Diverse Learners](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070502/56813e58550346895da84d51/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
For many students struggling with mathematics, mastery of key procedures is dependent on having adequate practice to build fluency.

Extending mathematical knowledge through conversations
If you multiply ¾ by 1, it does not
change its value.
Discuss the following ideas aboutrational numbers.
1. Describe how you know that¾ and .75 are equivalent.
2. Explain how you can simplify arational number like 6/36.
That’s why ¾ and .75 or 75/100 are equivalent. I can convert ¾
to .75 by multiplying by 1 or
25/25.
