Integrates base-ten blocks, counters, and virtual tools to scaffold the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) sequence. Targets conceptual understanding of arithmetic, place value, and fractions for students with learning disabilities.
A 12-session Tier 2 intervention series focusing on making ten and decomposing strategies for addition and subtraction word problems within 20 and 200. Designed for students with learning and intellectual disabilities using direct instruction and hands-on practice.
This sequence uses a Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) approach to help 3rd-grade students in special education master multi-digit addition and subtraction. It moves from physical base-ten blocks to shorthand drawings and finally to the standard numeric algorithm, emphasizing the conceptual 'why' behind regrouping.
This advanced graduate sequence focuses on the design and implementation of the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework for learners with mathematics disabilities. Students will move from diagnostic error analysis to the creation of comprehensive, evidence-based intervention plans.
A 10th-grade special education sequence focused on the strategic use of virtual manipulatives to bridge the gap between concrete modeling and abstract algebraic reasoning. Students progress from tool exploration to independent selection and justification.
A 5-lesson sequence for 11th-grade students transitioning from physical math manipulatives to virtual tools. The curriculum emphasizes digital literacy, strategic tool selection, and self-advocacy to prepare students for post-secondary academic environments.
This sequence uses base-ten blocks to help 6th-grade students with learning disabilities visualize decimal place value and operations. By redefining the 'flat' as one whole, students tactilely explore tenths and hundredths to build a concrete foundation for addition and subtraction.
A comprehensive sequence for pre-service teachers on the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework. This unit covers place value, multi-digit addition, subtraction, and multiplication, focusing on explicit instruction and scaffolding for students with learning disabilities.
A comprehensive sequence for pre-service special education teachers focusing on diagnosing fraction misconceptions and implementing hybrid intervention strategies using physical and virtual manipulatives. Students move from error analysis to designing technology-integrated support plans for learners with disabilities.
A project-based sequence for 10th-grade students to design personalized graphic organizers, focusing on working memory support and self-advocacy. Students transition from critiquing generic templates to creating a custom 'toolkit' for STEM and Humanities subjects.
A 5-lesson sequence for 9th-grade special education students transitioning from arithmetic to algebra using tape diagrams and area models to visualize linear relationships.
A graduate-level sequence focused on using visual mathematical representations as both a diagnostic lens for identifying student misconceptions and a scaffold for solving multi-step word problems. Students will move from error analysis to designing technology-integrated intervention plans.
This graduate-level sequence prepares educators to implement the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) framework and Schema-Based Instruction (SBI) to support students with mathematical learning disabilities. Participants will bridge cognitive science with practical pedagogical strategies, focusing on reducing cognitive load through visual modeling.
A 30-minute introductory lesson for elementary students on Discrete Trial Instruction (DTI) using numbers 1-5. Students learn the three-part DTI cycle (Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence) through interactive drills and practice.
A 30-minute preschool lesson featuring three multi-sensory learning centers focused on fine motor skills, pattern recognition, and early literacy with a festive winter theme.
This 30-minute professional development session equips Kindergarten teachers with practical, classroom-wide strategies to engage all learners. Learn to ignite curiosity and participation in students who may be disengaged, have fewer ways to show their thinking, or struggle with classroom routines and content.
A 50-minute individualized Orton-Gillingham lesson for 4th-grade students with dyslexia, focusing on decoding multisyllabic words through syllable division rules for closed, open, and r-controlled syllables.
A 10-day curriculum for Pre-K special education students to learn the concepts of 'whole' and 'half' through repetitive, hands-on, superhero-themed activities.
A 30-minute, multisensory lesson designed for a 7-year-old student with ADHD and dyslexia to master consonant 'l' blends using interactive 'Level Up' themed activities.
This lesson introduces equivalent fractions (wholes, halves, and fourths) using visual and hands-on activities, designed specifically for students with severe autism. It focuses on identifying that different fraction names can represent the same amount through physical manipulatives and clear visual aids.
A foundational math lesson for 2nd-grade special education students focusing on understanding tens and ones using base-ten blocks and interactive activities.
A high-intensity Tier 3 intervention focused on phoneme segmentation and blending of CVC words using a 'Sound Construction' theme. This lesson provides explicit, systematic instruction for students requiring intensive literacy support.
An intensive, one-on-one Tier 3 intervention focusing on phoneme segmentation and blending in CVC words. This lesson uses multi-sensory Elkonin boxes and explicit teacher modeling to build foundational literacy skills.
A Tier 3 multiplication lesson designed for students with exceptionalities, focusing on concrete strategies like arrays, equal groups, and number lines to master facts up to 5x5.
A 30-minute professional development session empowering educators to design data-driven intervention plans through a collaborative design sprint approach. Participants analyze case studies, brainstorm strategies, and set SMART goals for student support.
