a. Introduction: I will introduce the lesson by asking the student if she can name
the four basic operations of math. After we clearly identify these operations, I
will have a discussion with the student about how word problems depend on
specific vocabulary to ask a math question. I will give the student an example and
ask how she knew which operation to use (Example: If tom has four apples and
Tina has six apples, how many apples do they have all together? Operation:
addition). After we identify this math addition vocabulary word, I will have the
student create a verbal list of all the addition vocabulary words she can think of.
We will then move on to each operation and brainstorm what the student already
knows.
b. Developmental Activities: The student will be handed a pile of pink index cards.
The student will be asked to identify the four main operations and then separate
the remaining math vocabulary words into four categories based on the four
operations. Once the student is complete we will review her answers and discuss
any errors to assure student understanding. Next I will introduce a mnemonic
device used to help students complete math word problems. This is a multi-step
device that help students identify the important steps needed to solve a word
problem. After explaining the mnemonic device I will model how to use it when
solving a word problem.
c. Closure Activity: The student will complete the mnemonic word problem
worksheet (Appendix A). I will monitor the students usage of the mnemonic
device and use prompting to help the student stay on track and not forget an
important step.
7. Addressing Learners Diverse Needs:
a. The student will complete their TOD session in a quiet location to avoid
environmental noise distractions and to focus on teachers voice.
b. The student will use assistive technology to help access auditory sound, including
wearing a hearing aid, FM receiver, and FM transmitter.
c. The student will wear her glasses to access visual cues and to provide clear vision.
d. The student has bilateral congenital ear deformities. One ear is more severely
deformed than the other, causing profound hearing loss in her left ear. Her right
ear has a moderate to severe hearing loss, so she wears one hearing aid and an
attached FM receiver. Due to this specific circumstance, the students right ear
must be closer to the speaker.
e. To help the student check for understanding, student is permitted repeated
directions.
f. The student will receive small group instruction when possible.
g. The student will receive extended time on all activities if needed.
