Operations With Radicals Review Problem Solving Strategies: Draw a Diagram; Try, Check, Revise; Look For A Pattern; Make a Table; Solve a Simpler Problem; Use Logical Reasoning; Work Backward Special Education See Appendix I Guided Problem Solving ESOL Three global strategies are essential for supporting the learning of English Language Learners in the mathematics classroom: 1 Creating and Maintaining Access to Lessons Draw students attention to related concepts, skills, and situations that they already understand. Form context for subsequent instruction and conversation by establishing schedules and routines, including an initial announcement of what topic will be studied, what students will do, and how they will be grouped during a lesson. Use cooperative group and partner work. 2 Using Visual Tools Assist students in generating nonlinguistic representations for new knowledge. Use pictures, objects, chalkboard drawings with accompanying text, graphic organizers, posters, manipulative materials, and mathematical diagrams. 3 Providing Language Support Realize that all students can benefit from listening to, and thinking about, a wide variety of questions. Model problem-solving by thinking aloud. Understanding of specific mathematical vocabulary is enhanced by purposeful instruction. Word walls and student glossaries visibly display important math vocabulary. Post graphic organizers to serve as reminders of new concepts and skills. Provide purposeful instruction in understanding mathematical symbols: reading, or understanding the concepts represented by symbols; verbalizing, or translating symbols into spoken language; and, writing symbols, or producing symbols to represent a mathematical relationship. Encourage analytical thinking by having students discuss why incorrect answers are incorrect. Unit 1--Numbers and Operations Page 4

Appendix I Instructional Adaptations For the Special Education Student in the Regular Education Classroom 1. Assign a peer tutor, peer support, or study buddy to each special education student. This would be a reliable student who could help with problems, share notes, explain concepts and check problems that have been completed. This would give immediate help to the student and would mean that they wouldn t have to wait to receive help from the teacher. It would also mean that the teacher would have more time to spend with other students. Also research shows that students increase their understanding of material when they teach it to others so it would benefit the regular education student too. 2. Extended time for assignments, projects and tests. This will enable the special education student the chance to review problems, check more thoroughly for errors and to receive help for problems where they need tutoring. The ultimate goal is for the student to learn the concepts and this may take a little extra time, more than one chance on a test and the opportunity to retake a test or redo a project or homework assignment. 3. Modified assignments. A good example of this would be if the class were assigned 20 problems (#1-20) from a text, then the special education student would only be expected to complete the odd or even numbered questions. This would enable to student the time to thoroughly understand the 10 problems instead of having to rush through 20 problems and make mistakes or become overwhelmed with the workload. 4. Simple graphic organizers that outline a step by step procedure to solve problems. Many math problems require a sequential, step by step approach and it would be beneficial for special education students to have simple graphic organizers that break problem solving down into smaller steps. Examples would also be useful since they serve as a good model for the special education student to utilize. 5. Supplemental materials from textbooks with lower reading levels. These will help the special education student who has difficulty with reading and comprehension. Many times these students cannot even attempt a problem because they do not understand what the question is asking them to do. Once a comfort level has been established then more difficult reading can be incorporated. 6. Access to a calculator, tables and a comprehensive tool kit will be valuable to the special education student and will allow them more time to spend solving the problem than figuring out the arithmetic. It will also reduce the number of simple errors made by the student. 7. Study guides and chapter outline checklists are useful tools for the special education student and help them with organizing their work. 8. Regular notebook checks by the teacher are also helpful to increase organization.
9. Close and regular contact with the skill development teacher will help increase the success of the special education student. Supplying the skill development teacher with a condensed packet of notes is another useful tool. 10. Arranging after school tutoring for the special education student will provide a more comfortable atmosphere to ask questions and increase comprehension. 11. Students learn using a variety of modalities. Some special education students will learn more through the use of manipulatives, visual aids and using computer programs as opposed to the traditional pen, pencil, chalkboard approach.
Appendix II Instructional Adaptations For the ESOL Student in the Regular Education Classroom 1. Manipulatives/Visuals - Use diagrams, pictures, graphs, and tables to express concepts instead of sentences. These are used very often in every chapter of this book. 2. Cooperative/Peer Support Permit students to work in Groups, helping and learning from each other. There are many activities in which students can be assigned to work in groups. 3. Word Bank/Vocabulary - New terms should go on a word wall which can be a room display or a personal/portable word wall. Have students make posters of glossary terms. 4. Graphic Organizers Try using webs, maps, charts, and diagrams. They provide a visual representation of key concepts and related terms, helping students see relationships among ideas and show how ideas link together. 5. Student/Led discussions - Many discussions and questions motivate students to answer questions individually or as a group. 6. Rephrasing/Clarifying - Short sentences and explanations allow students to understand a concept without relying so much on the language. Students need to rephrase information in their own words. 7. Calculator Support - Calculators should be used throughout the entire book to review or explain concepts and objectives. 8. Individual Support This must be given by the classroom teacher to help students who have problems understanding the language or using information. 9. Extended Completion Time This will be necessary in some instances to assure students have enough time to complete a task or assignment. It usually takes an ESOL student longer to read and understand concepts because of the language barrier. 10. It is the responsibility of the classroom teacher to work on student s prior knowledge by asking questions before introducing a concept for the first time. 11. Modified Lessons - Objectives in every chapter are explained in simple words or phases. Common words are used to describe objectives.
12. Word Banks/Vocabulary This adaptation can be used at the end of every chapter or unit of study. 13. Graphs/Charts These should be used frequently 14. Highlight Key Concepts - Key concepts can be highlighted in different colors to attract students attention. 15. Applying Concepts to students personal lives and diversities Use Real World connections. 16. Verbalize Strategies - Students are asked to describe or explain important concepts in their own words. 17. Technology Programs PHSchool.com 18. Alternative Assessments - Different types of alternative assessments may be used. Concept maps, review questions, open ended questions, problem solving, oral responses, using calculators to solve problems, multiple choice questions, self evaluations, group projects, comparing similarities and differences, and oral presentations are some examples. 19. Study Guides/Outlines These should be used to stress important information. 20. Modified Coaching Rubrics- Rubrics are used for projects. Rubrics should be clear, well written, and easy to understand. 22. Mathematical Operations - Division is written differently in certain countries. For example, the division sign is written backwards in the Dominican Republic. Some countries use a comma where we would use a decimal point. Some students learn to subtract by compensating the subtrahend, not borrowing from the minuend. 23. Recognizing role models, in math and other natural sciences, that belong to different countries should be examined.. 24. Additional warm ups and activities for better understanding of vocabulary should be used when working with ESOL students. 25. Create a glossary of geometry terms that students can review when necessary. 26. Integrate language arts, the sciences, and social studies into the study of data representation. 27. There are many reasons the language and vocabulary used in math can challenge even able readers: conceptual density of math text; overlap between math vocab and vocab used in everyday English; math symbolism; and, concepts embedded within
concepts. Marzano asserts that direct instruction on words that are an integral part of new content has a big impact on learning.
