Review
"Parents and teachers will find this book a wonderful resource." -- Professor Sue Buckley, Director for Research and Training, The Down Syndrome Educational Trust and Emeritus Professor of Developmental Disability, Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, U.K.
Book Description
TEACHING MATH TO PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME is the book that everyone has been waiting for! Now 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.
For years, the math program explained in TEACHING MATH has been successfully used with preschoolers, children, and adults with Down syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other cognitive disabilities. Its success lies in capitalizing on the visual learning strengths of these concrete learners and using manipulatives, games, and activities to teach and maintain motivation. A key feature of this method is the early introduction of the calculator, which allows students to progress in their understanding of math without having to memorize math facts. This book can be used to help students learn the critical math survival skills needed for living independently or help students in their math curricula at school.
Book I covers introductory math skills typically taught in preschool or elementary school, but which many older students still need help with, including:
- Number sense
- Recognizing & writing numerals
- Time
- Calculator skills
- Counting
- Measurements
- Addition
- Place value
- Shapes
- Subtraction
- Money
TEACHING MATH gives parents and teachers high-interest, hands-on strategies and ideas for teaching math to learners of all ages.

A lot of good stuff,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teaching Math/People W/Ds/Hands-On-Lrn (Paperback)
This is a good book with a lot of practical advice for both parents and teachers. The only draw-back is that I would have wanted more of "prenumeral concepts".

Teaching Math to People With Down Syndrome and Other Hands-On Learners: Basic Survival Skills (Topics in Down Syndrome),
By T. Stewart "Educational Aide" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Math/People W/Ds/Hands-On-Lrn (Paperback)
This is an awesome book! It gives you a step by step proven method that is almost fail-safe for teaching any concrete learner to understand math and math concepts. The only problem with this book is the misconception that the title relays in that it is not just for children with Down Syndrome. It is the method I use to teach all developmentally delayed children. I recommend it to everyone with children with delays.

Great for Hands on Learners,
By Joanne Spaziano "Middle School Math Teacher" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Teaching Math/People W/Ds/Hands-On-Lrn (Paperback)
I ordered this book to be able to work with a student who has severe brain damage and is not Down's. The activities are ones that would benefit all students, not just special needs. The activity on money and purchasing was really effective in helping my student understand the value of items and how to figure out change.
