- Use of a calculator/math chart when doing calculations
- Highlight important information and DRAW pictures to explain story problems.
- Use manipulatives whenever possible.
- Highlight “operations” on sheets with multiple signs (ex. Plus = Pink).
- Enlarge worksheets with too many problems on them (Especially Math for Today pages. They are too crowded!)
- Cut down repetitive worksheets that are testing the same skill over and over. (No need for overkill!)
- Touch Math is a great hands-on tool for learning 1-to-1 correspondence and "counting on." http://www.touchmath.com/
