  1. Teaching Methods

  2. Factors influencing math abilities Psychological factors such as intellectual abilities, cognitive abilities (including perception/memory/working memory etc.) and behavioral factors such as distractibility Education factors such as area of mathematics (computation, problem solving, time, estimation, perception) Personality factors such as persistence, self-concept, and attitudes towards mathematics

  3. Cognitive factors Perceptual skills –visual/auditory perception, time/estimation, distances Perseveration- task shifting/multiple operations Language- presenting unnecessary words Memory Working memory--- also susceptible to distraction

  4. Math Interventions Elementary grades • Pre-math skills • One to one correspondence • Grouping/sorting objects • Seriation-sequencing • Numeration

  5. Math Interventions Elementary grades • Math skills • Number concepts • Computations • Time, Money, estimation, • Functional math

  6. Strategies that work in Elementary grades • Manipulatives • Computer assisted programs • Daily activities that include math • Touch math • Peer –assisted programs • Cross age, matched age • Calculators • Using games • Highlighting • Active response strategies • Combining movement with math • Error Analysis

  7. Strategies that work in Elementary grades • Time • Sequencing events • Identify which events take longer • Calendar activities with visuals • Hands of a clock • Identifying minutes on the clock • Reading time, both digital and regular clock

  8. Elementary • Math facts • http://bridges1.mathlearningcenter.org/resources/blog/2009/10/addition-and-subtraction-fact-strategy-posters • Worksheet generators • http://www.interventioncentral.org/teacher-resources/math-fluency-generator-math-for-kids

  9. Strategies of secondary school • Error analysis in math problem solving • Cognitive strategies • Read, paraphrase, visualize, hypothesize, estimate, compute, and check your answer • Sequencing steps in math problems • Math vocabulary drills • Functional math • Schema-based instruction
