Visual Math Problem Representation

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.

This sequence teaches 3rd-grade students with working memory challenges how to decompose multi-step instructions into manageable 'chunks' using action verbs, sequencing, and visualization techniques. Students progress from identifying cognitive overload to independently managing complex academic tasks using self-created checklists.

A 5-lesson sequence for 11th-grade students focused on working memory support through cognitive offloading. Students learn to externalize complex STEM processes using flowcharts, reference anchors, and error analysis to reduce mental load and improve accuracy.

This sequence teaches 2nd-grade students how to use visual checklists and 'chunking' strategies to manage multi-step tasks. By breaking large goals into manageable steps, students develop the working memory supports needed for academic success and daily routines.

A 2nd-grade sequence designed for special education support, focusing on the compare and contrast text structure through the use of Venn diagrams. Students progress from sorting physical objects to comparing images, identifying signal words, and ultimately extracting information from text to populate diagrams and write comparative sentences.

A specialized sequence designed for 9th-grade students needing working memory support. It focuses on using visualization and spatial mapping to follow multi-step instructions in academic settings.

This lesson empowers sophomores with cognitive impairments to confidently apply math skills to real-world menu scenarios. Students will learn to navigate a menu, identify prices, and calculate simple totals for lunch orders.

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.

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 20-minute workshop for 5th-grade teachers to brainstorm and develop targeted Tier 3 academic and behavioral interventions for individual students.

A 10-minute Tier 2 lesson for middle school autistic students focused on telling time to the hour and half-hour using analog and digital clocks. Includes visual supports and hands-on practice.

A 20-minute introductory lesson for middle school autistic students on repeated addition, using visual aids and hands-on manipulatives to bridge counting and multiplication.

Students embark on a magical journey to master three-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping. This lesson uses visual tools and interactive activities to build confidence in handling complex math problems for 9th-grade students with IDmi.

A hands-on, sensory-rich math lesson for students with disabilities, using fake snowballs to explore counting, sorting, and basic operations across three interactive stations.

A hands-on, sensory-based lesson for students with cognitive disabilities to learn basic addition and subtraction using tactile "snowballs" in a Winter Wonderland setting.

An individualized Tier 3 learning plan for 3rd-grade students, focusing on targeted skill mastery through an adventure-themed learning quest. This lesson provides a structured 30-minute session including a warm-up, mini-lesson, guided practice, and reflection.

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.
