Engaging Math Activities to Support Students With Intellectual Disabilities
Help me give my students much-needed hands-on activities. As a special education teacher for students with severe and diverse needs, I would like to create materials that they can access.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
At my school, more than 90% of students are Latino, and more than 99% come from low-income households. The students in my class have intellectual disabilities- moderate/severe. They are curious, kind, and fun-loving young adults who require visuals and manipulatives to support their learning.
Many of my students benefit from incorporating hands-on materials into our activities, which allows them to engage and participate in math concepts such as counting, colors, patterns, and number identification while also practicing the use of small motor functions and hand-eye coordination.
They will use these hands-on materials incorporated in this math kit to make patterns, use a ten frame to add and subtract, and count objects to expand their math skills. I will supplement this kit by using materials and ideas from Teachers Pay Teachers. Students will also explore color and color combinations by using and blending watercolor pencils.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
