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
