how to teach math to children who has learning difficulties?

Answer 1

Break it down to the simpilest level you can, then build them up. Teach them that it is okay to be wrong but lets find the right answer. With math, use manipulatives any time you can. Manipulatives are anything that the child can actually see and touch. Common things teachers use as manipulatives are base ten blocks, unifix cubes, cuisenaire rods. Some of the more fun things are shaving foam, M & Ms, dry erase boards, games. Really it is anything that is stimulatory and exciting. Don't use the same old stuff every time, use all sorts of things to keep them intersted. Start the concept with manipulatives and when they understand that then show them how to draw the answers out, then finally teach them how to use standard numbers and letters to write the answers. Use books whenever you can and know when your student is at thier max of learning, or at their frustration level of the activity. Don't push them past either one.

Answer 2

I think you have to find out which is the best way they learn, is it visual with lots of pictures and visual exercises, is it vocally through hearing the lesson 2-3 times, or is it writing it out many times? Or maybe it's a combination? I was never good at science until my 8th grade teacher explained the lessons through activities, one semester i had the 3rd highest grade in the class, it's never happened since and its most likely because no other teacher has taught the same like he did.

Answer 3

You might want to repost this question. To answer this question without more information would be meaningless. There are too many things that could be said. The keys to success would be wrapped up in repitition of instruction, guided practice and manipulatives.

Age group of the students?
Ability level/ type of disability?
Type of math lesson?

Answer 4

make teaching and learning interesting children will no longer feel difficulty in learning math.
in case you are talking about mentally challenged children then please specify it.
may i know where you live,because means and methods for teaching children are different from place to place.
