In this video, Sarah Powell, Assistant Professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of Texas at Austin, discusses key considerations when teaching students with math difficulty.
This video demonstrates how to teach students to think flexibly about fractions. Similar to whole numbers, fractions can be put together and taken apart in many different combinations. Students should practice identifying these combinations so that they can become fluent with fraction addition and subtraction.
This video illustrates the use of manipulatives to help students practice comparing quantities that are grouped as tens and ones. When numbers are represented with manipulatives organized as tens and ones, students develop a concrete understanding for using place value to comparing quantities. Students also benefit from multiple opportunities to talk about mathematics and use appropriate mathematics vocabulary such as “greater than” and “less than.”
This video illustrates the use of manipulatives to help students integrate the concept of counting by ones with skill in grouping by tens.
This video demonstrates how to use base-10 blocks to help students solve multiplication problems that cannot be solved with automatic retrieval.
This video illustrates how manipulatives can be used to show the relation between strategies for subtraction and addition.
This video illustrates the use of scaffolding with manipulatives to teach students to group objects by tens with counting by ones.
