This report documents the results of anecdotal observations conducted in District A during the spring of 2004. It describes the algebra topics addressed during our observations, the expected tasks (class activities), teacher actions, and student actions in six different beginning algebra courses this district. We looked at the similarities and differences in the algebra curriculum for students with and without disabilities in the different algebra courses, the ways that class periods were structured in these classes, the kinds of instructional approaches that were used in general education and special education algebra courses, and students’ responses to these instructional approaches.
