Title: Teaching All Children Mathematics


1
Teaching All Children Mathematics
  • Mathematics Methods
  • Dr. Dawn Parker

2
Diversity in Todays Classroom
  • Addressing Needs of Students
  • Who are identified as having a specific learning
    disability
  • From different cultural backgrounds
  • Who are at risk due to social inequities
  • Who are female
  • Who do not speak English
  • Who are mathematically promising

3
Challenging Traditional Beliefs
  • Changing beliefs about the mathematics curriculum
  • Changing beliefs about how children learn
    mathematics
  • Changing beliefs about assessment in mathematics

4
Specific Learning Disabilities
  • Perceptual Deficit

  • Attention Deficits

5
Teacher Expectations
  • It remains true that students will rise and fall
    to the level of our expectations
  • Expect the best out of all students and believe
    that all students are capable

6
Success for At-Risk Students
  • Have high expectations for all students
  • Use instructional scaffolding
  • Make instruction the focus of each class
  • Extend students thinking and abilities beyond
    what they already know
  • Work at gaining in-depth knowledge of your
    students as well as knowledge of the subject
    matter

7
Teaching Second Language Learners
  • Stress understanding of math concepts
  • Approach math through the use of manipulatives
    and hands-on activities
  • Use cooperative groups and peer tutoring
  • Use appropriate methods of reinforcement and
    praise
  • Incorporate multicultural aspects into the
    curriculum
  • Use second language materials and texts as
    available
  • Monitor discourse to limit culturally based
    examples not generally understood
  • Use math vocabulary in context
  • Become informed about how represented cultures
    teach mathematics

8
Gender Equity What can be done?
  • Be aware as you interact with students
  • Number and type of questions you ask
  • Amount of attention given to disturbances
  • Kinds and topics of projects and activities
    assigned
  • Praise given in response to students
    participation
  • Makeup of small groups

9
Mathematically Promising Students
  • Acceleration, Enrichment, and Depth
  • Breadth (enrichment)
  • Rate (acceleration)
  • Complexity (depth)
