Abstract: The Effectiveness of teaching number sense program on improvement number sense ability and math achievement of first grade slow learner students was studied. The research method is semi-experimental and pre test –posttest with control groups design. Using random stage sampling method,20 girl and boy student were selected from two special schools in Tehran- Iran and devided in two equal experiment and control groups randomly.Jordan number sense test and a researcher maded math achievement test were used as research tools in all experimental conditions. The experimental group received the number sense program for 10 sessions, (each session 60 minutes ,two times for each week). Covariance analysis showe , the number sense program can improve both number sense and math achievement for experiment group(P<0.5). This findings showed that the number sense training program can improve number sense and achievement program and is a useful method for teaching slow learner students as a remedial program. Key words: number sense teaching , math achievement , slow learner students

Assertiveness is considered as a significant factor in improving self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. Studies show that slow learner students have problem in self-confidence and interpersonal relationships. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of assertiveness skills training on improving self-esteem and peer relationships of slow learner students. The study design was experimental, running the pre-test, post-test, with a control group. 24 boys in third to sixth grades in Rudbaar were randomly assigned to control (n=12) and experimental group (n=12), and answered to Scale of Relationship between Peers (walter Hudson, 1997), and self-esteem questionnaire (Cooper Smith, 1967). Assertiveness skills training was performed during eight sixty-minute sessions for the experimental group while control group received no this training. Results of covariance analysis showed that assertiveness skills training improves peer relationships among slow learner students, and also increases total score of their self-esteem (P<0.001). The results of this research confirms that assertiveness skills training could be considered as an intervention to enhance self-esteem and peer relationships of slow learner students.
