  1. Helping the Student Succeed in Math Grades 1-3 By: Jena Kuykendall &Nikki Neumayer

  2. Illinois Learning Standards • Count and compare numbers and unit fractions using “greater than” and “less than” notations, represent numbers and unit fractions with manipulatives. • Solve a multiplication and a division problem through equal grouping of objects and sharing.

  3. Illinois Learning Standards (cont.) • Estimate, solve, and check a series of addition and subtraction number and word problems. • Estimate length, weight and capacity when compared to standard reference points, and choose appropriate units of measure in various examples.

  4. Accommodations • Extended time for assignments/tasks. • Alternate the response style to an assignment or test. • Quiet environment. • Allow adequate space on worksheets to work out problems. • Provide students with an alternative to writing their answers. • Allowing the use of technology when appropriate. • Provide small group opportunities. • Circle or highlight computation signs. • Number lines on the students’ desks. • Teach mnemonic strategies to solve word problems.

  5. Modifications • Limit the number of items on tests and assignments. • Use different format materials to teach the same content. • Word problems without extraneous information. • Allow more time for all assignments and tests. • Test only on focused materials.

  15. Something to leave you with • “schools must inquire deeper into their own practices, explore new ways to motivate their learners, make use of learning styles, introduce multiple intelligences, integrate learning, and teach thinking, and in the process discover the passion and moral purpose that makes teaching exciting and effective. • Fullan and Hargreaves
