Abstract

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) to improve the math performance of students with Dyscalculia.
Materials and Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population included all elementary school students with Dyscalculia in Tehran, which among them through available sampling students with math disorder in elementary schools in Tehran district 1 were selected. And randomly assigned to two experimental groups (5 people) and control (5 people). The experimental group underwent 25 sessions- Each 45 minutes-of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3). The tools used in this study included the Wechsler Intelligence Scale of Children and the Iranian Key Math Test.
Results: The results of covariance analysis reflects the impact of the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) to improve mathematics achievement of children with Dyscalculia (p < 0.05( . In other words, the mean scores of the students in the experimental group in the post test were significantly higher than the mean scores of the control group.
Conclusion: It seems that the third level of response to intervention (TIRE3) can improve the mathematical performance of students with Dyscalculia.
