%X The purpose of this case report was to increase a child's skills inadding basic facts to ten using a math manipulative, and a token economy. The participant was an 11-year-old girl with intellectual disabilities. This study took place in the childĄ¯s self-contained special education classroom located in an elementary school in the Pacific Northwest. The dependent variables were the studentĄ¯s ability to accurately count the targeted numeral amount using a manipulative. The second was rote counting. The results of this study indicated the effectiveness of token economy and the math manipulative. As the outcomes revealed, the studentĄ¯s corrects increased with the use of token economy and math manipulatives. A return to baseline failed to reduce the student's performance indicating maintenance of behavior change over time. The applicability of token programs and manipulatives in math was discussed.
