Two major areas of weakness can contribute to math learning disabilities • Visual-spatial difficulties, which result in a person having trouble processing what the eye sees • Language processing difficulties, which result in a person having trouble processing and making sense of what the ear hears

  5. Low Tech Devices for Math • These devices are low cost and are usually manually, and not electronically operated.

  6. Examples • Base ten blocks • Calculator Clocks Geometry set

  7. Mid Tech Devices for math These devices are simple electronic devices that require little training

  8. examples • Tape recorders • Calculators with print Talking clocks Audio books

  9. High Tech Devices for math These devices are fully electronic devices that contain micro computer components. Examples • Textbooks with CD - Rom • Graphic organizers • On–screen math, computer calculations • Communications devices/software
