“Teaching Math to People with Down Syndrome and Other Hands-On Learners, Book 1
DeAnna Horstmeier
. Parents and educators can use this guide to teach meaningful math to students--with and without learning problems--who struggle with understanding computation, number concepts, and when and how to use these skills. The author, an experienced educator, was inspired to write TEACHING MATH to meet the needs of hands-on learners after observing the difficulty her adult son with Down syndrome and his peers had in applying math skills to everyday life. Book 1 covers introductory math skills such as number sense, recognizing and writing numerals, time, calculator skills, counting, measurements, addition, place value, shapes, subtraction, and money. Volume 2, which will be released at a later date, will focus on more advanced math skills. $19.95 isbn# 1-890627-42-9
