Math Interventions

Math is a tough subject for some students, here below are somethings that Math teachers found helpful for students with Autism in their classrooms!

5 Math Interventions:

• Use materials students can manipulate for abstract concepts. Examples such as additions, subtraction multiplication, division by using rods, tokens, beans (physical objects they can move around.)
• Allow the students to draw out pictures/diagrams to visually see components in word problems
• Highlight and color code critical aspects of word problems/equations so that student will recognize the information as being important (aka, color code it.)
•  Allow students to create their own word/math problems
• Provide explicit practice generalizing math skills into the real world. (make it applicable!)
• Fractions can be practiced by learning recipes
• Subtraction can be illustrated by calculating costs, and money spend on things
• NOTE: Money is very helpful for showing students real life math applicableness

All the lists of intervention and integration tips and tricks have come from a collaboration of 5 Special Educators who have told me I am allowed to publish this. They have asked to not be disclosed, but I am beyond grateful for their help!
