Word problem solving continues to be challenging for students with mathematics difficulties, such as students with and at risk for learning disabilities. Research shows that teachers can use effective mathematics interventions and strategies to help these students successfully solve word problems. This session will focus on supporting teachers in implementing Schema-Based Instruction (SBI), an empirically validated approach, to enhance the mathematical word problem-solving performance of students with mathematics difficulties.
