RESEARCH PAPER
Abstract:
The purpose of this research paper is to better understand the relationship between mathematics and attention disorders such as ADHD, specifically in a high school mathematics classroom. Often, students with attention disorders perform at a much lower academic level than other students, but these same students have also shown that they can make a significant impact on the classroom and society. This research hopes to reveal why these students are not performing as well, highlight how they can contribute to classrooms and explore strategies that teachers can use that are useful in engaging these types of students.
