AllNumeracy as well as literacy is fundamental to student success. However, many students with moderate and severe disabilities lack a sound foundation in early mathematical skills and knowledge necessary to be numerate and to confidently and effectively use numeracy to meet the everyday demands of life.
This learning opportunity is for teachers who want to learn more about mathematics instruction and numeracy development for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The session will focus on early mathematical skills which support numeracy development for students with significant disabilities:
Day One - September 30, 2015
- Meaning-filled activities
- Problem solving
Day Two - January 19, 2016
- Visualizing to support the learning of mathematics
- Spatial development
Target Audience
Teachers of Students with Significant Disabilities who have NOT participated in a Numeracy for All Community of Practice
