Math CAMPPP 2012Breakout Session 3

Gr. 9-12

Session Goals

Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and explore:

• the cognitive processes, and how they impact students with learning disabilities

• strategies to increase success for students with learning disabilities (e.g. creating foldables)

2

Mingling to Music

• Think of a specific student you have encountered who has a learning disability and finds learning particularly challenging. Which of the cognitive processes pose challenges for this student? How did that manifest itself in your classroom?

10

TIPS Lessons• Choose a TIPS lesson from the samples

provided.

Gr. 9 Applied - Proportions

Gr. 10 Applied - Trigonometry

Gr. 11 Workplace - Probability

Gr. 11 Functions and Applications - Finance

Gr. 12 Advanced Functions - Rational Functions

11

TIPS Lessons• Review the lesson to familiarize yourself with the

content and tasks.• Review it again with the cognitive processes in

mind, then:– suggest accommodations to better meet

needs of students with learning disabilities– note accommodations already in place

Dinah Zike’s TeachingMathematics with Foldables

13

“Foldables result in student-made study guides that are compiled as students listen for main ideas, read for main ideas, and work their way through new concepts and procedures.”

14

• Select a template from the samples of “foldables” given.

• Create a “foldable” related to your TIPS lesson to support students with learning disabilities.

Three-Tab Book

19

1.Fold a sheet of paper like a hot dog.

2.With the paper horizontal, and the fold of the hot dog up, fold the right side toward the center, trying to cover one half of the paper.

3.Fold the left side over the right side to make a book with three folds.

4.Open the folded book. Cut up the two valleys on the top side only. This will form three tabs.

Use this book for data occurring in threes.

Take a few minutes to look at the foldables created.

How might foldables help students with learning disabilities?

Exit CardIt is September, and you are working with a new

teacher on lesson planning.

Because of Math Camp, you have become more aware of the cognitive processes, and how they impact students with learning disabilities.

What 2 or 3 pieces of advice could you give to help the teacher plan lessons to better meet the needs of these students?
