Abstract
The purpose of this study was to get reflections on teaching numbers and operations for special education from analyzing lessons for counting, addition and subtraction of natural number with counting board for students with autism. In order to attain these purposes, this study analyzed the lessons for counting, addition and subtraction of natural number to students with autism in 4th and 6th graders in special class at regular elementary school using counting board for one hour per week for 30 weeks. According to the analysis, counting board that reveals the structure of numbers becomes an effective mathematical materials, and using the counting strategy and computation strategy can be an effective method of teaching, and it is possible to teach mathematical communication to students with autism. From this result, this study presented suggestions for teaching counting, addition and subtraction for students with disabilities.
