Browder, et al. (2006) • 13 out of 27 studies used the Massed/Discrete Trials instructional strategies • This strategy has been used to teach a variety of math skills, such as addition (Baroody, 1996), counting and matching numbers (Kapadia and Fantuzzo, 1988), measurement (Karsh, Dahlquist, and Repp, 1994), and multiplication (Morin and Miller, 1998) • Browder, et al. (2008) • The Opportunities to Respond strategy has been identified as one of the evidence-based practices for teaching mathematics to students with significant cognitive disabilities Research Evidence 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University
Trial Components Prompt Feedback (http://www.users.qwest.net/~tbharris/aba_train.htm) 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University
A primary teaching method to teach students with developmental disabilities Teaching a skill by repeating the same trial several times successively in a short period of time (CBASSE, 2001). Beginning with prompted trials, then using systematic prompt fading until the student can give the correct response independently Example—A flash card of a number 5 is placed in front of the student, and 10 repetitions are presented as, “Mike, what number is it?” Skill Acquisition—Massed/Discrete Trials 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University
Break skill into the smallest steps Teach each step of the skill intensively until it is mastered (systematic instruction) Provide multiple opportunities for responding Prompt the correct response, and fade the prompts as soon as possible Use positive reinforcement procedures (http://www.autismtreatment.info/What+Is+a+Discrete+Trial.aspx) Teaching Strategies for Massed/Discrete Trials 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University
Activity #1 Tasks: • Teach locating points on a coordinate plane • Present a student ordered pairs of whole numbers, such as (3, 6), and say “Find this point on the plane.” The student is taught to locate this point on a coordinate grid. Use constant time delay with verbal or modeling prompt. • Teach number comparison • Ask for two numbers (through 20). The student is taught to use marbles to represent these two quantities and compare them. The student will make a sentence by using “more than” (for example, “18 is more than 12”). Use the least-intrusive prompting strategy to teach. The hierarchy of prompts is (a) gesture, (b) verbal prompt, and (c) model and verbal prompt.

Activity #2 • Teaching functional skills and using in vivo instruction • Multiple Exemplar approach—use varied materials and activities to teach the same skill • General Case approach • Define the instructional goal • Define the variation of stimuli and responses • Select differential exemplars • Vary other features • Teach one set of exemplar, and probe the others; teach until mastery • Stimulus equivalence—if a = b, and a = c, then b = c and c = b Generalization (Browder and Snell, 2000) 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University

Two traditional curricular approaches • Remedial curricular approach—teaching prenumber skills and basic numeracy skills from the beginning, regardless of grade level • Functional approach—teaching functional skills and ignoring numeracy skills • Promoting access to the general curriculum (recommended)—dual instruction approach • Using systematic instruction to teach skills needed to acquire numeracy skills within typical grade-level math activities and concepts • Teaching functional academic skills Adapted Math Lesson/Unit Plans (Browder, Ahlgrim-Delzell, Pugalee, and Jimenez, 2006) 2010 Region 3 Education Service Center / Texas A&M University

Activity #3 Simon is a seventh grader with autism and moderate intellectual disabilities. He has speech impairments and is learning to use an augmentative alternative communication (ACC) device. With limited prior exposure to mathematics instruction, he can compare single-digit numbers by using a number line. In seventh-grade general math class, students need to learn how to compare integers—according to the TEKS 111.23.Grade7.(b)(1)(A), “compare and order integers and positive rational numbers.” Using the activity sheet on the second page, draft an adapted lesson plan for Simon.
