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 including real-life math connections, visualizing to support the learning of math facts, and making literature-math connections.
Target Audience
Teachers, Learning Coaches, Teacher Assistants, Speech Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists
