I would use the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards to purchase Math to Mastery, which is a program that focuses on mastering math essential foundational skills in a straightforward way. Many math books simultaneously introduce two or more problem-solving strategies. This often confuses struggling students. These lessons use just one strategy at a time for students to master before moving to the next step.
Each lesson is presented in model, guided practice, and independent practice format.
They are chunked into small objectives with explicit step-by-step instruction and many practice repetitions.
My students with learning disabilities will benefit from simple, concise vocabulary and larger font and space for writing answers.
