(2017)Objectives. The aim of this study is to explore interventions designed for middle school students with mathematical learning difficulties. Explanations of mathematical learning difficulties are ambiguous, the causes of the difficulties are versatile, and mathematical learning difficulties appear in various ways. However, mathematical learning difficulties can have a significant impact on employment opportunities and basic life skills. Although early interventions are desirable and effective, differences found among young children tend to remain or even increase along with age. As mathematical learning difficulty is a persistent character, problems with mathematics will occur at the middle school level as well. Therefore, in addition to early interventions, interventions for middle school students are also essential. This study explores interventions designed for middle school students, what shared features they have and how they differ, and what kind of results can be obtained by those interventions. Methods. The study was conducted as a systematic literature review of five peer reviewed articles. Results. Examined interventions concentrated on the use of different strategies or on the use of different concrete and/or visual tools. The interventions differed in regard to duration, number of sessions, group size and inclusion criteria. All interventions emphasized explicit instruction, and each intervention reported positive results.

The studies have also noticed that eating with the regular meal rhythm is challenging for the Finnish adolescents. Special notice has been made that the adolescents do not eat breakfast or school lunch so often in their daily basics and tehy replace the missing meals with unhealthy snacks. The researchers have also noticed that there is a difference between the genders in the eating habits. It was more likely for the boys to eat against the healthy eating habits and they ate more unhealthy snacks than the girls. According to the researchers results, adolescents from the families with the lower social economical statuses ate more against the healthy eating habits. The researchers have found a connection that the adolescents have common eating habits with their friends and they have similar food choices. The studies have discovered also that the area where the adolescent live and the school is placed, affects to their eating habits and choosing the food. Also, the society have noticed to have an influence to the adolescents eating habits and how they choose their food. The literature review had shown results that research should pay more attention to Finnish adolescents eating habits. All the results from this literature review should not be used without a second and more trustworthy research.
