Mathematics instruction represents one of the most consequential yet underexplored domains within applied behavior analysis. While the field has historically concentrated its clinical efforts on language acquisition, social skills, and adaptive behavior, the teaching of mathematical computation has received comparatively limited attention in behavior analytic literature and practice.

This CEU course explores how foundational math skills can be effectively taught and assessed using the principles of behavior analysis. Participants will learn to conceptualize math computation as a behavioral operant and apply the instructional hierarchy to tailor math instruction. Teaching Basic Math with ABA is a core focus of this course. In fact, teaching basic math with ABA principles benefits both novice and advanced learners. Emphasis is placed on using data to guide intervention decisions, measuring skill fluency through rate-based metrics, and distinguishing between skill and performance deficits. Real-world case examples and evidence-based instructional methods—such as Cover-Copy-Compare and Explicit Timing—are used to illustrate how behavior analytic strategies can improve math outcomes for learners.
