| Abstract: | With the number of students classified as Dual Language Learners (DLLs) in U.S. schools consistently increasing, it is important for educators to consider academic interventions that include evidence‐based practices to support DLLs. Specifically in the field of mathematics, several strategies have been recommended to support DLLs' mathematical development. However, it is difficult to determine if mathematics intervention programs are utilizing these strategies effectively for DLLs. The purpose of the current review is to examine the current elementary mathematics intervention research base to determine relevant study and intervention characteristics within published research articles. Results demonstrate a lack of early mathematics intervention research articles that examine mathematics outcomes for DLLs. Additionally, results suggest that of the included articles, many early mathematics interventions include key strategies that support DLLs. Based on these findings, implications for future research and practice are further discussed. Summary: There are limited studies of mathematics interventions that examine effects for dual language learners (DLLs).Future research on mathematics interventions for DLL students will need to include more detail regarding the school context and characteristics of students and interventionists.Educators may need to adapt and modify mathematics interventions to include key strategies for DLLs.
