Abstract
Given common adherence to the NCTM Standards and the noted difficulties experienced by students with LD, it is essential that teachers be informed of and use validated instructional practices (Maccini & Gagnon, 2000). One method of assisting students is the use of graphic organizers (GOs). In this Issue Brief, we discuss five topics concerning the use of GOs in mathematics for middle school students with LD: (a) definition of graphic organizer; (b) types of graphic organizers; (c) examples of three types of GOs; (d) key components of GOs; and (e) how to use GOs. Finally, we provide two examples of teachers using GOs from secondary general education and resource classrooms.
