The development and application of mathematical competence have become a strategic educational objective for all learners in South Africa (South Africa 2010:3-6; South Africa 2011c:5; South Africa 2011a:2). The researcher believes that early preventive intervention for at-risk learners in the key aspects of mathematical proficiency might prevent serious deficits in mathematical competence. By the time learners enter formal schooling certain skills must have been acquired so that they will be at…

Researchers should consider such factors as the adequacy of classroom instruction, the availability in children of informal knowledge, the role of motivation, the effects of specific interventions, and the development of children's thinking throughout the school years.

It is important to identify early signs and predictors of MD to ameliorate and perhaps prevent later MD and to discuss other research in the area, which for the most part supports the arguments and proposals put forward by Gersten et al.

Extending Responsiveness to Intervention to Mathematics at First and Third Grades

Responsiveness to intervention (RTI) is an innovative approach to the identification of learning disabilities (LD). The central assumption is that RTI can differentiate between two explanations for…
