Two publications that provide some suggestions about the content required for
effective math instruction include the 2001 National Research Council study Adding it Up: Helping Learning Mathematics (Kilpatrick, Swafford, & Findell), as well as the 2008 National Math Advisory Panel (NMAP) report.
This manuscript
includes a brief review of research findings suggesting that providing students with worked out examples is more
effective than the conventional
math instruction method a discussion of the probable reasons for this effect comments on what this body of research suggests for teaching today's
math students, with specific consideration of a recently developed
math - learning resource.
