Once children learn the basic signs of the four (4) arithmetic operations, a simple calculator can be useful. Children may also need to have word problems read to them. Many computer programs are available to teach basic math skills and many programs use a game-like format that teachers have found helpful. Children with different needs require practice in logical reasoning, i.e., the more they press (bang on) the clay, the thinner it gets. They need the opportunity for broad exploration. Use real materials and situations, “I’ll give you two cookies.” They can see them, touch them, count them, taste them, break them in half, count again, and eat them. DOING math is the key, not just hearing about it. When teaching math: • Use concrete objects – cookie, block, water • Play games – count objects, name numbers when shown number, match numbers, group objects, and select numbers • Use reasoning skills – “What else can you use to build a tower?” • Play size comparison – “Give me the big cup.” • Help – identify, predict, construct • Emphasize – mathematical concepts • Give – large paper and pencil Children with different abilities need to organize their world. They need help to classify, recognize relationships, and compare/contrast. They need the teacher’s knowledge and skill in learning how to develop compensatory skills that will help them as math becomes more formalized. 88
