• excellent teachers not only shared certain qualities

• One kind of cognitive task that can be offloaded to a computer is converting  text, symbols, and mathematical notations. These tools can support students who  have difficulty decoding text and symbols
• Too often, special education students study mathematics by first learning  isolated skills. Then they apply these skills by solving narrowly defined math  problems that are purported to provide practice for these skills. Unfortunately,  this strategy often leads to the practice of rote procedural skills
• inert knowledge
• anchored instruction
• students may have the mathematical knowledge and procedures they need but may be  unable to use them because they lack the conceptual understanding that allows  them to match their knowledge to the problem situation
