“How To Set Up A Special Education Program”- Teaching Math
Math is SUCH a
complex subject to teach to any child. When you add in sensory processing
disorders, speech and language delays, visual impairments and outright
behaviors, it makes math THAT much more complex. Most store curriculums
only provide 20 pages of practice on one skill before it gets more challenging.
This does NOT work for my students, as some students may be working on
the same skill for 6 months, or even 2 years.
To overcome this challenge I designed my own leveled math curriculum for
students with special needs.

This Daily Math
Practice curriculum is sold separately by levels since every special education
classroom has a wide range of abilities.
This curriculum is designed to build a cohesive curriculum within your
classroom while meeting the needs of all of your students. Each level has 180 days of practice pages
(double sided) and also has anchor charts to support student learning. Using this curriculum in conjunction with the
writing curriculum will create consistency within your classroom which will
promote independence and success for your students with autism and special
needs. Each worksheet is designed using
a simple clutter free format to minimize distractions. Each side of the
worksheet has only a few problems and the fonts are large print.

I also stock my
math center with math materials I have bought over the years. These are great to pull out to fill the time
before we rotate to the next group. They
are fun, hands on and interactive for our tactile learners that also reinforce
pencil/paper tasks!

Fluency is also a
huge component of math. Memorizing and
increasing speed with counting, adding, subtracting is so critical for our
students as they grow older. I store all
of my visual flash cards in a bin on rings.
I can pull them out to test, assess or practice.
