  4. Mathematics Manipulatives • Description of Accommodation Manipulatives are concrete objects or pictures of concrete objects for a student to move and touch in order to visualize abstract concepts. • Assessments STAAR, STAAR Spanish, STAAR Modified, STAAR L 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  5. Mathematics Manipulatives • Student Eligibility Criteria • Special education only • Routinely, independently, and effectively used • Has a disability that affects memory retrieval, focus, or organization such that he or she cannot learn and retain information as effectively as non-disabled peers despite multiple opportunities to learn, varied instructional strategies, and high-quality instruction. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  6. Math ManipulativesExamples/Types • This accommodation may ONLY include • Real or play money (both heads and tails) • Clocks (instructional clocks, not a wall clock) • Base-ten blocks • Counters • Algebra tiles • Fraction pieces • Geometric figures • This is an exhaustive list. • No other manipulatives are allowed. • Be sure to read the complete accommodation policy for guidelines regarding labeling and other details from the Accommodation Triangle. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  7. Supplemental Aids • Description of Accommodation Supplemental aids are paper-based resources that assist a student in recalling information. • Assessments STAAR, STAAR Spanish, STAAR Modified, STAAR L 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  8. Supplemental Aids • Student Eligibility Criteria • Special education only • Routinely, independently, & effectively used • Has a disability that affects memory retrieval, focus, or organization and is severe enough to prevent student from learning and retaining information as effectively as non-disabled peers despite multiple opportunities to learn, varied instructional strategies, and high-quality instruction. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  9. Supplemental AidsExamples/Types • This accommodation may ONLY include • Mnemonic devices, blank graphic organizers • Addition & multiplication charts,100 chart, place value chart, pictorial models of fraction bars/circles & geometric figures • This is an exhaustive list. • No other supplemental aids are allowed. • Be sure to read the complete accommodation policy for guidelines regarding labeling and other details on the Accommodations Triangle. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division
