Using Manipulatives During Math Instruction
The Importance of Using Manipulatives Using Manipulatives During Math Instruction The use of manipulatives during math instruction is instrumental in building conceptual understanding. Children who use manipulatives and pictorial materials to represent a mathematical concept are more likely to understand the concept.Children’s attitudes towards mathematics are also improved when teachers effectively use manipulatives to… Read More Using Manipulatives During Math Instruction

Algebra for All: Resources for Providing Students Access to Algebra Instruction Pre-K to Grade 12
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics promotes access to algebra for all students in Pre-K-12th grade (NCTM, 2014). As noted by Flores (2009), “Providing students with greater access to algebra provides students with disabilities the tools to complete high school exit exams and so obtain a high school diploma, as well as advance to… Read More Algebra for All: Resources for Providing Students Access to Algebra Instruction Pre-K to Grade 12
Creating Meaning in Mathematics for ALL Learners
The Concrete-Representational-Abstract sequence of mathematics instruction allows students to move meaningfully through less complex math concepts and procedures to more abstract, complex ones. Research indicates that the CRA sequence has been effective for students with and without disabilities. Teaches provide explicit teacher modeling and scaffolding, and also conduct ongoing assessment to determine what level of… Read More Creating Meaning in Mathematics for ALL Learners
Check out the UPS of Problem Solving
“Don’t take the problem solving out of problem solving” (p. 34). Rather, teach through problem solving, and teach students to solve problems with effective processes and strategies. Find tasks that encourage students to practice a particular problem solving strategy. As students’ grapple with the math, and discuss their ideas about their solutions, they develop skills… Read More Check out the UPS of Problem Solving
