MATHEMATICAL DISABILITIES
Reasoning, Computation, Making Connections
MATHEMATICS DISABILITY TYPES
Arithmetic Disorders (disabilities)
Mathematic ReasoningNon-verbal
Social immaturity Disorientation Visual/motor, self-help Problems in estimation; time and distance
Verbalizing problems Associated with reading/literacy/language learning
Connections with reading and writing: dyslexia, dysgraphia
MODELS OF INSTRUCTION Assessment and Progress Monitoring Diagnosis: individualized, group-based, curriculum-based
Curriculum: Evaluate and Adapt Available curricular programs for struggling students (ways to
differentiate) Determine relevancy, create useful examples
Teaching Tools and Methods Manipulation Step-by-step approaches Constant time-delay Means of correcting and positive feedback Work for comprehension
Adapting of Instruction Providing real-world examples
Learning Strategies
AS IN ALL THINGS, THERE ARE PREREQUISITES Teaching/Environment/Curriculum are ALL appropriate
Determine and teach appropriate goals
Task analysis of learning concepts
BASIC MATH SKILLS
One-to-one
Classification (size, color)
Seriation
NUMERATION
Understanding of numbers
Estimating - Include in subject matter when possible. How much do you think?
Regrouping - start with smaller numbers
Understanding Zero - Placeholder 306
PLACE VALUE
Grouping by ones and tens – Manipulatives
Naming tens - Counting by tens Use everyday items to
illustrate place value, like school population.
LEARNING FRACTIONS
Clearly explain and illustrate language and concepts
Provide many examples
Help discriminate different problem types (denominator)
COMMON COMPUTATIONAL ERRORS
Spatial Organization - Graph paper
Visual Detail - + or - read carefully
Procedural Error - 5+5=5x5
Failure to shift operations - Monitor process
Motoric Problems - Can’t read writing
Memory Problems - time and opportunity
Difficulty with zero - Ensure understanding
COMPUTATION AND CALCULATORS
Help develop skills
Improves attitude towards math
Higher achievement
