Abstract

This article focuses on the use of digital calculators and online math games as effective technological tools to support elementary and middle school students with learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics. It highlights how these tools can enhance conceptual understanding, engagement, and confidence when implemented intentionally and with appropriate instruction. Examples of digital calculators (e.g., Photomath, Cymath) and online games aligned with curricula (e.g., Investigations, Connected Mathematics Project) are provided, along with strategies for teaching their use through explicit instruction and task analysis. The article emphasizes that technology integration should be tailored to individual student needs and instructional goals to maximize benefits for students with LD.
