Fun fact: The math course at my university includes tutoring local SPED elementary school students. However, our kid's IQ ranges are slightly higher (think mild learning disabilities and some behavioral issues, my lowest IQ is probably in the mid 60s.) As such, my math experiences are a LOT diff than yours (my kids are younger so we're doing basics right now.)
I'd love to hear about some of the strategies you use for that age/ability level, though. If you feel like sharing of course. Especially since it looks as though I will be math tutoring part-time (elementary and middle SPED) next semester (which is, I might add, my first ever non-preschool education related job for real money!)
