This video provides a sample of algebra instruction for students with significant cognitive disabilities using manipulatives and pre-taught knowledge of integers.

Would you like to learn more about how effective PBIS and instructional practices can be integrated in the math classroom in 20 minutes or less? If so, check out this behavior byte that addresses how PBIS and effective math instruction complement one another to help every student reach success.

With a focus on grades 1-3, classwide intervention options will be described with emphasis on peer mediated activities. Participants will learn of the empirical and theoretical basis for using a peer-mediated approach to address advanced computation skills. Explicit steps for arranging peer mediated activities will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to plan and practice with intervention materials and protocols.

Various math teams who participated in the session, Classwide Math Intervention, will prepare and share a brief presentation (30 minutes) describing and explaining their implementation experience and outcomes.

This video demonstrates how the representation connects to the explicit trade algorithm and how this algorithm connects to the traditional algorithm.

This video demonstrates division by grouping using a representation. It also makes a connection to the abstract using the explicit trade algorithm.

This video demonstrates the use of an area model and manipulatives to find factor pairs.

An overview of the stages of learning in reference to the Instructional Hierarchy

Participants will learn what learning is, what the basics of our cognitive architecture are (how our brains receive and process information and how it is stored as knowledge) and what helps and hinders learning. We will then discuss a number of guiding principles for effective, efficient, and enjoyable (i.e., successful) learning as well as a few principles often used in math, that have time and again been shown not to work.
