Nice review of the research on algebra instruction in students with LDs:

Brief summary of the enhanced anchored instruction strategy (meaningful applications):

http://s3.amazonaws.com/cmi-teaching-ld/alerts/21/uploaded_files/original_Alert19.pdf?1331403099A number of curricula use the concrete-representational-abstract approach. Among the best known are the Singapore Math curricula, which are probably easiest to implement through elementary, as the secondary-level texts are only CC-aligned through 8th grade (Dimensions Math), and (honestly) require a level of math conceptual understanding that escapes many US math teachers. Some strategies published by Vanderbilt on using CRA in algebra:
