Math is an important skill for all students to learn, because it is used in everyday life. We use math everywhere like when in school, at grocery stores, when planning parties, and when buying items. Many students with disabilities consistently struggle to learn math, because there are so many different ways to learn math and so many different mathematical terms. On top of teaching kids how to do simple math, teachers always have to focus on reaching common core goals. In the following paragraphs, I will review different articles and an evidence based practice that will discuss how to teach functional counting through snack delivery, how to teach math relating to the common core, how mathematical language can affect how students learn math,

When teachers have to teach students with disabilities common core, it is often hard to find how to adapt instruction. This article discusses six steps that teachers can use to teach math to students with disabilities. These steps are as follows: select a topic and create objectives, identify a real life activity using the skill, incorporate evidence based practices, include instructional supports, monitor progress, and plan for generalization. It is important that all students attempt to learn the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), because they relate to skills they will need in the real world. According to the article, if teachers follow these six steps, then students will have a better chance to learn in an effective way. This is important in my future classroom because teachers need to be constantly thinking about the different ways we can effectively help students accelerate in the common core. Math is such a difficult area for kids with disabilities, so we need to strive to help them learn as much as …show more content…
Time delay is a response prompting procedure with low error rates that fades prompting to ensure students learning do not become prompt dependent. Time delay can be used for academics, language and communication, social skills, motor skills, and play skills. It is effective for students in preschool to high school, it can be used in or out of the classroom, and it is cost effective and easy to implement. The EBP discusses the two different, but very similar types of TD, which are Constant Time Delay (CTD) and Progressive Time Delay (PTD). For each of these TD procedures, there are three components to be implemented, which are an antecedent, learner response, and consequence. Data should be taken before TD is implemented, during the implementation, and after the target skill is learned to ensure TD is working. If TD is not working, its important that the teacher completes a checklist about how they are implementing the TD that will determine where the issue is. TD is very important in a special education classroom because research shows that is teaches “errorless learning”. Although I am not a teacher yet, I have already implemented CTD at placements and I have seen firsthand a lot of progress. As I continually implement TD in classrooms, I will learn how to be better at it and see all of the
