Summary/Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of using manipulative items for teaching the process of carrying in the mathematical operation of addition with a third-grade student with hearing loss. A single subject reversal design protocol was used. The subject student had low achievement in addition of two-digit numbers with regrouping. When visual aids, concrete materials, and practice were implemented with the student, he was eventually able to achieve a top score of 90% on a 10-item quiz. The strategy was found to be very effective in this setting. Further research is needed to investigate whether the student would be able to implement this strategy successfully with three-digit numbers. The use of the intervention should also be explored with more than a single student and with younger students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
