  1. General Methods and Strategies for Math Instruction

  2. A Quick Word About Strategies We must take time to teach the strategy first and give students sufficient time to practice the strategy without a focus solving the problem.

  3. Cover-Copy-Compare • This method is for independent drill and practice. • Math worksheets for computational problems. • Left side - completed problem with answers. • Right side - same problem - blank and unsolved. • Cover left side with large index card • Copy the problem on the right • Solve and compare with answer on the left. • -Jim Wright, Intervention Central

  4. DifferentiatedCover-Copy-Compare • Provide the problem on the right. • Provide boxes, lines, and spaces for students to write their answers. • No peeking! Laminate a flip folder and velcro left side down. • Partner work.

  5. Incremental Rehearsal • Builds student fluency in math facts. • Pairs unknown computation items with increasing known items. • 80:20% ratio • Use index cards or www.Aplusmath.com flashcard creator. -Jim Wright, Intervention Central

  6. Incremental RehearsalHow-to • Review a collection of math facts with the student. • Anything the student answers in 2 seconds place in the known pile. • Anything the student cannot answer within 2 seconds goes in the unknown pile. 12 + 7 _______________ 2 + 3 _______________ Unknown Known

  7. Incremental RehearsalHow-to • Choose one card from the unknown pile. • Read the fact and answer. • 12 + 7 = 19 • Student repeats. • Choose a card from the known pile. • Student reads the fact and answers in sequence. • Correct = answered within 2 seconds.

  8. When Helping Students Learn Basic Facts... Create real- world problems for the students to apply the facts.Create problems they can make a personal connection to.

  9. STAR Method Search the word problem Translate the words into an equation in picture form Answer the problem Review the solution

  10. F O P S Find the problem type Organize the information using a diagram Plan to solve the problem Solve the problem -Asha Jitendra, 2005

  11. General Adaptations • Re- word directions on worksheets • Highlight/bold/underline key words • Fewer items on a page • Chunk test items by function • Provide ample space to solve • Use checklists for lengthy problems • Terminology/vocabulary posters • Give correct examples

  12. Allow Students to Play Teacher(Remember Mr. Khan) This aids students in: • Learning the language of math • Explaining their reasoning • Connecting and integrating knowledge
