This two-day course will provide teachers with 4 research-based strategies to teach students with learning disabilities how to think and reason mathematically. Participants will leave: Understanding what it looks like when students reason mathematically – quantitatively, structurally, and through repetition. Knowing 4 essential strategies to engage students, support their development of mathematical thinking, and develop independence. Ready to support each and every learner to develop as mathematicians.

Essential Strategies for Teaching Students with Learning Disabilities to Think Mathematically
Participants will develop a deep understanding of how five research-based strategies (ask yourself questions, sentence frames and starters, annotation, the Four R’s, and turn-and-talks) can be used to help students with learning disabilities develop mathematical thinking. They will learn about six accessibility areas (conceptual processing, visual-spatial processing, language, attention, organization, and memory) math learners must use when doing mathematics. They will see how the essential strategies support students as they work in each of the accessibility areas by engaging in an instructional routine designed to develop mathematical thinking. Participants coalesce their learnings as they apply the course ideas to draft IEP goals that focus on students’ mathematical thinking.
