My students need math instant learning centers, a magnetic teaching clock, math bingo games, magnetic numbers and counters, and a Jungle Jumble addition game.
I work in a high-need community in New York with students, ages 5-8, with autism. All of the students are diagnosed as children with autism.
The children in my class have huge problems with attention span and they have a difficult time learning basic concepts in math. They tend to get very frustrated during the math lesson. As a teacher, I employ different teaching strategies to meet their learning needs. I employ interactive methods such as games that usually help with those children who have short attention spans and a lack of interest in math. Therefore, the bingo and addition games are very important for them to reinforce their math learning while improving their social skills with peers and adults. I also set up different math learning centers for the children to generalize and reinforce their math skills.
The children are different. The complete set of Elementary math instant learning centers will provide the opportunity for us to address the children’s needs individually. The diverse learning center activities for the children will increase their interest in learning math concepts. The hands-on counters and magnetic clock make math concepts easy to grasp, count, measure and compare.
Our school is a new school and the school was started last school year 2008-2009. Therefore, we lack math resources for children with autism to learn about math concepts. Please help make this possible for the children with autism. Thank you.
