It's Highly Probable!

My students need one game and a manipulatives kit for learning probability.

I teach students with mild disabilities such as learning disabilities or emotional disabilities. These problems get in there way of learning math as expected. I teach the students in a small group (around 12) in a public school, to address their individual needs and tackle their challenges.

Our biggest challenge is to make growth toward our individual goals as expected. My students are expected to perform as well as students without disabilities, despite their problems. Probability is one of the largest topic in the middle school math curriculum, and can be very abstract, and difficult for my students to master.

Research does support hands on learning for children with disabilities. I have found this to be true for my students as well. By using manipulatives to learn the basics of probability, I can help the students learn what they need to keep up with others in the school. By accessing the curriculum in a different manner, they are still learning, and will be able to apply what they have learned with their hands to the word problem on the state tests.

By supporting the hands on learning style of students with disabilities, you will help empower those students to be successful. By helping children grow toward their individual math goals, you will ensure that no child is left behind.
