As you can imagine, it's tough for us to deviate from the multimedia presentation + student handout packaging. But we could, for example, put the segments-to-measure on a grid, so kids could visually estimate without having to manage a ruler. Or put the segments by themselves on a whole sheet of paper, landscaped, to make them bigger (as we sometimes put a single graph by itself on a whole sheet of paper, when the graph is referred-to throughout the lesson).<br /><br />We struggle sometimes with what we can do to make our materials accessible for everyone, and what we should leave for teachers to do, to accommodate the needs of the students in their classes. Would you say the masher/stomper/pluckers are a prominent feature in every 6th grade classroom? Or is it relatively few teachers who need to accommodate the occasional student?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229054922453438248noreply@blogger.com
