Teaching Math in a Special Ed Classroom

Today I talk about beginning math concepts, specifically how to help your special ed kiddos who have a hard time moving from counting objects to beginning addition. I talk about how to introduce adding by counting pictures on dots, with lots of hands-on activities and supplemental lessons before actually getting to the TM addition worksheets. I share about my small math flashcards and give organizational tips such as how I’ve been able to copy multiple flashcard sets for each student to use at school and home. In addition, I talk about interactive math task cards which align with the beginning activities and really get the kids excited for more! Finally, I put it all together with a brief summary of how I incorporate all this into my daily small group schedule.
