Math

Math instruction in our classroom is designed around IEP objectives, and considers what skills students are ready to learn. While we may not use an actual program, students participate in instruction and activities designed to meet their needs. Some students in our classroom work on identifying numbers, matching groups of objects to numbers, putting numbers in order, and other beginning number skills. Other students will be working on basic addition and subtraction, multi-digit addition and subtraction, fractions, time and money skills, and various other math skills.

Available to us this year is a program called Number Worlds. I will be investigating this program further to see if it is appropriate for any of our students. From what I know now about the program, students are presented with a lesson and are given lots of hands-on practice. Students are assessed regularly to ensure progress. The program also includes lots of fun games to further skill development.
