This hands-on session will demonstrate a research-based strategy for teaching students with autism and intellectual disability to solve math word problems. Participants will practice writing problems and planning instruction for their students. The goal is to increase student independence and generalize math skills to real-world activities.
Participants will be able to:
Articulate the importance of teaching math problem solving.
Write accessible word problems across domains.
Plan for MSBI by considering barriers their students may face to access, conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and generalization.
Create a streamlined data collection process that can be used to make instructional changes.
