The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, the researchers sought to assess the effectiveness of two instructional strategies, an explicit schema-based strategy and a traditional basal strategy, on one-step addition and subtraction word problems for students with mild disabilities and students at risk of failure in mathematics. Second, the researchers explored the long-term impact of the two strategies and ability of the students to transfer the skills learned in the strategy to new contexts.
