For a second-grade student with a specific learning disability in math computation, which accommodation is most likely to be helpful?

• A. Providing the student with extra practice worksheets
• B. Offering the student a fact chart as a reference point
• C. Assessing the student's understanding with weekly quizzes
• D. Checking the student's knowledge verbally

Answer: (B)

Providing a fact chart as a reference point helps a student who has a math computation difficulty by giving an on-hand cue to access basic facts. When recalling facts like sums or differences is slow or error-prone, a visible chart reduces memory load, so the student can focus on solving the problem rather than trying to remember every fact. This support fosters more independent work and smoother pacing during tasks, which is especially important in early grades.

Extra practice worksheets can build fluency over time, but they don’t supply the immediate reference the chart provides. Weekly quizzes assess progress but don’t lessen the in-task cognitive demands. Checking knowledge verbally can help with feedback, but it doesn’t offer a stable, reliable reference during independent work. The fact chart directly addresses the retrieval bottleneck and supports accurate, autonomous calculation.
