Math CAMPPP 2012 Breakout Session 3 Gr. 9-12 1
Session Goals Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and explore: • the cognitive processes, and how they impact students with learning disabilities • strategies to increase success for students with learning disabilities (e.g. creating foldables)
Mingling to Music • Think of a specific student you have encountered who has a learning disability and finds learning particularly challenging. Which of the cognitive processes pose challenges for this student? How did that manifest itself in your classroom?
TIPS Lessons • Choose a TIPS lesson from the samples provided. Gr. 9 Applied - Proportions Gr. 10 Applied - Trigonometry Gr. 11 Workplace - Probability Gr. 11 Functions and Applications - Finance Gr. 12 Advanced Functions - Rational Functions
TIPS Lessons • Review the lesson to familiarize yourself with the content and tasks. • Review it again with the cognitive processes in mind, then: • suggest accommodations to better meet needs of students with learning disabilities • note accommodations already in place
Dinah Zike’s TeachingMathematics with Foldables “Foldables result in student-made study guides that are compiled as students listen for main ideas, read for main ideas, and work their way through new concepts and procedures.”
Three-Tab Book • Fold a sheet of paper like a hot dog. • With the paper horizontal, and the fold of the hot dog up, fold the right side toward the center, trying to cover one half of the paper. • Fold the left side over the right side to make a book with three folds. • Open the folded book. Cut up the two valleys on the top side only. This will form three tabs. • Use this book for data occurring in threes.
Create a “Foldable” • Select a template from the samples of “foldables” given. • Create a “foldable” related to your TIPS lesson to support students with learning disabilities.
Gallery Walk Take a few minutes to look at the foldables created. How might foldables help students with learning disabilities?

Exit Card It is September, and you are working with a new teacher on lesson planning. Because of Math Camp, you have become more aware of the cognitive processes, and how they impact students with learning disabilities. What 2 or 3 pieces of advice could you give to help the teacher plan lessons to better meet the needs of these students?
