4.0 out of 5 stars Research on Math Difficulties 15 Oct 2008
By Struggling Math Man - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Compared with reading, little has been written about why children struggle with mathematics. The research in the past few years is significantly better than for the previous twenty. This book is an excellent addition to the literature.

If you are a special education who can stand reading research, or a graduate student learning about math education, this book is a must-read. I particularly recommend the chapters on defining math disability and on the use of memory in mathematics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Especially recommended for education shelves. 6 Aug 2007
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Why is Math So Hard for Some Children?: The Natural and Origins of Mathematical Learning Difficulties and Disabilities is a scholarly anthology of essays by learned contributors discussing how to most effectively help students with learning disabilities and difficulties achieve in mathematics. Essays examine the connection between mathematics difficulties and reading difficulties, mathematical development in children with language impairments, neuropsychological factors, so-called "math anxiety", recommended methods of instructional intervention, and much more. Especially recommended for teachers and school administrators, Why is Math So Hard for Some Children? brings together the latest research and field-tested wisdom in an effort to answer its title question and promote improved teaching methodologies. Especially recommended for education shelves.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very valuable for the knowledgeable professional! 8 Mar 2013
By Brenda J. Franck - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for those with a solid background in neuropsychology and education. The educator, however, would need more "catching" up with an introduction to a number of the concepts covered.
