The initial implementation suggests that this approach appears to serve struggling studentsand their teachers. It provides struggling students problems that are accessible and includestructures that allow for appropriate scaffolding for the students. The AMAA problems allowteachers to include substantial work for students on the standards for mathematical practice.The process <strong>of</strong> creating AMAA has generated useful insights for the design research process,and allowed the creation and validation <strong>of</strong> material appropriate for at-risk students. Our revisedmaterials will be useful for other districts facing similar challenges that AMAA addresses.ReferencesCobb, P., Confrey, J., Disessa, A., Lehrer, R., & Schauble, L. (2003).
