Hardball by Daniel Coyle

Making mathematics concepts understandable is a challenge for any teacher--a challenge that's more complex when a classroom includes students with learning difficulties. With this highly practical resource, educators will have just what they need to teach mathematics with confidence: research-based strategies that really work with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, or mild cognitive disabilities. This urgently needed guidebook helps teachers

• Understand why students struggle.
Teachers will discover how the common learning characteristics of students with learning difficulties create barriers to understanding mathematics.
• Review the Big Ideas.
Are teachers focusing on the right things? A helpful primer on major NCTM-endorsed mathematical concepts and processes helps them be sure.
• Directly address students' learning barriers.
With the lesson plans, practical strategies, photocopiable information-gathering forms, and online strategies in action, teachers will have concrete ways to help students grasp mathematical concepts, improve their proficiency, and generalize knowledge in multiple contexts.
• Check their own strengths and needs.
Educators will reflect critically on their current practices with a thought-provoking questionnaire.

With this timely book--filled with invaluable ideas and strategies adaptable for grades K-12--educators will know just what to teach and how to teach it to students with learning difficulties.
