Javon is a sixth-grade student receiving instruction in a coteaching setting with the support of a special education teacher. He is classified with a specific learning disability in mathematics computations and procedures. For example, Javon has difficulty remembering the steps to follow when doing long division or applying the order of operations. Which of the following is most likely to help Javon with computations and procedures?

While a quiet work environment can reduce distractions and help Javon focus, it does not directly address his specific difficulties with remembering computation procedures. This option may support general learning but lacks the targeted approach necessary for his learning disability in mathematics.

Self-monitoring strategies can help students track their understanding and progress, but they do not specifically assist with the memorization of computational steps. For Javon, who struggles with the actual steps in mathematical procedures, this approach may be less effective than a strategy that directly aids memory recall.

Reading word problems out loud may assist with comprehension, but it does not help him remember the computational steps required to solve the problems. This option focuses on understanding the problem rather than enhancing his ability to perform the necessary calculations and procedures.
