From an early age, deaf children excel in thinking about and
remembering what they learn through visual spatial instruction.
This strength in information processing can be used in the
mathematics classroom to achieve better learning outcomes.
This book discusses ways to teach deaf children about the four
arithmetic operations through spatial representation in problem
solving. Examples for the teaching of fractions and graphs are also
included. These visual representations are useful to support the
children's understanding of mathematical concepts and to promote
peer collaboration.
The teaching programme was tested with deaf children in six
schools with excellent results: the children in the project made
significantly more progress in one school year than expected for
either deaf and hearing children over the same time.
This work was made possible through the generous support of The
Nuffield Foundation.
