| Abstract: | Students with learning disabilities (LD), like other learners, show a range of resources and strategies for reasoning about complex concepts in mathematics. This study comes from a project in which a group of five ninth-grade students with LD participated in a once-weekly tutoring program with university pre-service teachers. We asked, what strategies did students use to reason about slope? Students drew upon knowledge of concepts related to constant covariation when given the opportunity. This study suggests that students with LD have rich conceptual knowledge that can be leveraged to improve their success in Algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
