Studies find that there may be an analog as important to _______________ learning as phonemic awareness has been to the development of _______________ | Mathematics, Reading |
Mathematical learning occurs as students do 2 things: | 1. learn the conventions, language, and logic of a discipline such as mathematics from adults with expertise 2. actively construct meaning out of mathematical problems (i.e., try a variety of strategies to solve a problem) |
T/F: reading instruction, both remedial and preventive, now invariably notes the importance of explicit instruction in phonemic awareness skills | True |
Phonemic awareness has changed the teaching of beginning reading, and that has influenced number sense developmental learning and more complex mathematical thinking | |
Students need to understand number sense as a foundation before moving on to bigger concepts | |
Number sense is difficult to define but easy to recognize. | |
number sense is likely to be necessary but not sufficient for developing problem-solving skills. | |
T/F: Building automaticity with basic facts is not an indicator of success | False, it is an indicator |
*KEY IDEA*: A devastating effect of the _____ of automaticity found that students w/ disabilities in mathematics tended to make significantly ______ growth in classrooms than students with disabilities taught with more traditional methods. | lack, less |
Some instructional research concluded that the focus of mathematics remediation for students with learning disabilities should involve: | 1. extended practice on math facts for when the student still relied on counting procedures 2. opportunities for students to verbalize their understandings & rationales for the strategies used to solve problems 3. extensive practice in solving problems |
T/F: There are links between number sense and specific cognitive problems experienced by students with learning disabilities | True! It, more often than not, affects all areas with a cognitive delay |
Highly specific instructional practices in early literacy activities can have significant benefits and may be beneficial for children who are lacking early numeracy experiences or students with learning disabilities |
