Abstract: 
Although Singapore students excelled in numerous international comparative studies in mathematics in general, findings from the 2007 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) on the performance of low-attainers indicate that the low-attainers in Singapore were not as competent as their counterparts in other Asian countries. Specifically, the low-attainers’ worst performing component was word problems on whole numbers and measurement (Koay, Chang & Ghani, 2012). This paper performs a systematic literature review to examine the principles underpinning specific interventions that have been developed to benefit low-attainers and proposes a framework to guide the planning of mathematics lessons for measurement word problems to engage the low-attainers. The analysis of the characteristics of low-attainers indicate a common trend where they were largely similar. Direct instruction and representations are found to be the common instructional design moves for the low-attainers.
