Abstract

Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) display severe social and academic deficits that can adversely affect their academic performance in mathematics and result in higher rates of failure throughout their schooling compared to other students with disabilities (Webber & Plotts, 2008). This is of great concern as students with E/BD often receive lower grades, fail more classes, and have higher drop-out rates and fewer employment opportunities (Bullock & Gable, 2006). This review looks at mathematics interventions with a focus on subtraction for students with EBD. Implications for future research are included.
