  1. For a “Change” Differentiate Presented by: Assistive Technology Facilitators from the Louisiana Assistive Technology Initiative

  2. To provide appropriate supports, we must determine the types of difficulties the student is experiencing.

  3. MATH DIFFICULTIES

  4. Types of Math Difficulties • Calculation • Visual-spatial skills • Organization • Problem Solving

  5. Types of Math Difficulties • Calculation Skills • Memorizing basic facts and formulas • Remembering simple rules and definitions • Following the proper order of operations • Visual-Spatial Skills • Seeing the book, worksheet, or board • Seeing the book accurately • Recording on paper so it can be understood

  6. Types of Math Difficulties • Organization Skills • Interpreting problems correctly • Grouping the skills necessary to solve the problem • Performing steps in order • Problems Solving Skills • Identifying and selecting appropriate strategies • Using the strategies correctly • Generalizing strategies to other situations • Applying acquired knowledge and skills to solve problems

  7. Remediation of Deficit Areas Strategies and skill based instruction is needed to improve deficits areas. Assistive technology can play a role in remediating skills.

  8. Compensation of Deficit Areas Generally, assistive technology serves to compensate for deficit areas by enhancing access to and success in completing instructional tasks which require students to read and comprehend instructional materials and to demonstrate understanding of math concepts.

  9. In order to produce quality work, the student must have an appropriate environment and access to the proper tools to compensate for difficulties that they are experiencing.

  10. Grade 3 MathUnit 3: Time is MoneyActivity 4: A Dollar Is a Dollar! Comprehensive Curriculum Louisiana Department of Education

  11. Curriculum Activities • Read the poem Smart by Shel Silverstein. • Provide students with opportunities to make proportional trades with money amounts. • Provide opportunities for the students to solve problems.

  12. Smart by Shel Silverstein My dad gave me one dollar bill'Cause I'm his smartest son,And I swapped it for two shiny quarters.'Cause two is more than one! And then I took the quarters,And traded them to Lou.For three dimes -- I guess he don't know,That three is more than two! Just then, along came old blind BatesAnd just 'cause he can't see.He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,And four is more than three! And I took the nickels to Hiram Coombs,Down at the seed-feed store,And the fool gave me five pennies for them,And five is more than four! And then I went and showed my dad,And he got red in the cheeks,And closed his eyes and shook his head--Too proud of me to speak!
