  • Title: A life skills approach to mathematics instruction: preparing students with learning disabilities for the real-life math demands of adulthood.
    Author: Patton JR, Cronin ME, Bassett DS, Koppel AE.
    Journal: J Learn Disabil; 1997; 30(2):178-87. PubMed ID: 9066278.
    Abstract:
    Current mathematics instruction does not address the day-to-day needs of many students with learning disabilities. Although the vast majority of students with learning disabilities are not college bound, much of mathematics instruction provides college preparation. Too often, classes in mathematics ignore the skills needed in home and community and on the job. The present article examines the ways in which general mathematics instruction, focused on daily living skills, can easily be integrated into the classrooms of students with learning disabilities.
