Number Sense: Rethinking Arithmetic Instruction for Students with Mathematical Disabilities

Chard (2001) Abstract We describe the concept of number sense, an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the reading research field. Understanding the concept of number sense and relevant research from cognitive science can help the research community pull together fragmented pieces of earlier knowledge to yield a much richer, more subtle, and more effective means of improving instructional practice.

More than three decades have passed since Kirk and Bateman (1962) proposed that auditory processing was one of the psycholinguistic process deficits underlying specific learning disabilities. We believe that there may be an analog as important to mathematics learning as phonemic awareness has been to the development of reading. Strategies for Teaching Students Struggling With Mathematics. Why do we need different teaching strategies for students with math disabilities and those who struggle with mathematics?

Strategies for Teaching Students Struggling With Mathematics

All educators are aware that not all students learn in the same manner. However, it is difficult to reach all learners all of the time. Often it is the students who understand and participate in the lesson that drive the instruction, leaving the student who “hides in the back” completely lost. The teaching strategies provided in this collection are intended to help teachers differentiate their lessons to reach those students who are struggling with mathematics.

With that in mind, many schools and homeschoolers are implementing an approach to teaching elementary math that is common practice in Singapore. Singapore math, which refers to the teaching methods or the actual curriculum used for kindergarten through sixth grade in the small island country, has become popular due to Singapore’s consistent top ranking on an international assessment of student math achievement called the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

" This is a quote that is reflected in my classroom. Students have many different learning styles and I must embrace all these styles to be the most effective teacher I can be. By utilizing technology in the classroom, I can employ many resources and methods within a lesson, rather than teaching the information in one manner to all students.

Understanding Bloom's Taxonomy, as children move through the hierarchy of learning, students' studies should progressively move towards developing higher level thinking skills, which leads to positive outcomes in student achievement. Technology can facilitate this process when integrated within an existing math curriculum. In my classroom, the children arrive and have to complete a math activity first thing in the morning. v6i2math1.doc - v6i2mathematics1.pdf. Newsletters - Research Notes - Technology in Class.pdf.

Problem solving plays an important role in mathematics and should have a prominent role in the mathematics education of K-12 students. However, knowing how to incorporate problem solving meaningfully into the mathematics curriculum is not necessarily obvious to mathematics teachers. (The term “problem solving” refers to mathematical tasks that have the potential to provide intellectual challenges for enhancing students’ mathematical understanding and development.) Fortunately, a considerable amount of research on teaching and learning mathematical problem solving has been conducted during the past 40 years or so and, taken collectively; this body of work provides useful suggestions for both teachers and curriculum writers.

The following brief provides some directions on teaching with problem solving based on research. What kinds of problem-solving activities should students be given? Story or word problems often come to mind in a discussion about problem solving. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Why I Support Common Core Standards. Over the past weeks and months, I have found myself caught up in numerous conversations with family, friends, and colleagues regarding an increasingly controversial issue. The issue is Common Core. And the arguments I consistently hear against it are the same: The standards are a backdoor attempt by Washington to usurp local control of education and institute a national K–12 curriculum. If this were the case, I would join the opponents of Common Core instead of debating them. For if the federal government is ever allowed to dictate the substance of our children’s education, it is only a matter of time before the cultural values of our children will be reprogrammed by Washington bureaucrats.
