I would say that you need to learn the various types of math problems and

categorize what they are looking for and how they are worded. Then you can

recognize the type of problem and know the type of set up or formula or ?? to

use. But I have found that 9 times out of ten I will use a ratio/proportion

method in math problem.

IF you use my tutorials you will probably recognize the way they are worded for

each type of problem and then learn to solve when it is worded a specific way.

Some times it helps to work back wards in a problem.

Here is one example where ratio / proportion is not necessary.

Also if they are looking for the specific number of tablets or capsules that a

person should have per dose or to be totally dispensed you can say

# of meds per dose, x # doses/day (frequency) x # of days this repeats(duration)

=- total number of meds

1 tab qid x 7 days

1 x 4 x 7 = 28 tabs to be total fill

4 tabs for daily dose

Hope this helps. I am sure you will have other input from members and

instructors.

My son has been learning math with a number line . The line is up to 30

right now and has red and green dots in that order . for addition and

subtraction . you find the top number (say 10 ) then for subtraction you go

to the

left ( red dots ) the amount you are subtracting - Addition is the same but

only to the right ( green dots) . He is doing great with this system so far.

a Chrisitan based math program (with only the songs based on the Christian

faith, so it is transferrable to school).

We started using MUS about 9 months ago, and saw HUGE jumps in math ability

almost immediately. It is an AWESOME program. Its mainstays are:

when you teach a child to count to 10, ALWAYS start with zero

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 is awesome, but wheres the zero?

now the MUS way:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

there can only be NINE units of measure in the ones place, because once you go

to 10, they move to the tens place. The 0 is vital to understanding math. It is

overlooked in almost every teaching tool made for children, almost an assumption

that it doesnt matter. In this program, the curriculum is based on a street

called Decimal Street. There are houses on decimal st, the units (ones) house,

the tens house, the hundreds, you get the picture. The units house is farthest

down the road, to the right of all the others. It is a blue house, and all the

little unit measure blocks that come with the program are blue, too. Only 9

people can fit in the units house, then it is too small, and they have to move

to the tens house. In this curriculum, the tens house and family are called

" TYs " .(Prounounced TEA) If 6 people live there together, there are 6 TYs. " Six

tea " people live there. six tea=60. 7 ty people =70. It gets to be an easily

held concept, although admittedly some TY people need to be said quickly...for

instance 3 ty=30 if you say it fast, but you just teach it as TY and kids get it

soon enough. There is SO much more to the program, but I am SO glad we bought

it.

Anybody have any fantastic ideas to teach math? Sydnie, 7, is doing pretty

good manipulating her fingers to do addition ...u know 2 on one hand plus 2 on

the other hand and counting them....but it isnt always easy.....

just curious if anyone has found a wonderful teaching tool.

We're still working oh phonics and blends...she is still working on sight

words and may be the way she really learns to read.....she knows her sounds but

just arent blending them together.

She tries to work hard, bless her heart...just want to help her along.

has been very successful with the entire TouchMath program,

including TouchMoney. She's amazingly fast at it, and can do multiple

digit addition and subtraction with regrouping using this method. We

are moving on to the multiplication now, and I'm hopeful it will work as

well. This does not help her with typical 4th grade math however...

fractions, decimals, geometry, etc., so we modify her math for areas

that are way too abstract. We also use a multiplication chart to help

with multiplication... she has one in her desk and in her binder, and

she knows how to quickly find the answers.

Not sure if that's the type of information you wanted.

I was recently loaned the TouchMath materials - but that's not what I'm

looking for

I'm looking for the support that children with intellectual impairments are

beneffitted by focussing on using calculation devices to proceed in Math,

rather than focusing on poor calculation.

I've gotten anectdotal stories from several people of their children

proceeding into High School math and even successfully graduation on a diploma,

by

being trained to use calculators for the calculation part, so that more

attention can be spent on the concepts they need to pass HS math

That's what I'm referring to - for example - when you get to learning area,

perimeter, etc - focus on learning to set up the problem and then use the

calculator.

Regular education testing allows the use of calculators starting about grade

3. You can use it as an accomodation any time. Multiplication charts can

only take you so far - it's not going to help when you get to multiple digits

(i.e. four digits times three digits) and decimals.

Also - take a look at Coinulators - cool little calculators for manipulating

money concepts.

gotten to multiplication yet.

I also forgot about the touch money, it uses the concept of counting by

fives. It's a great program and most kids catch on rather quickly.

Re: ( ) my son's aide got fired

> trying to > 'escape' by crying or having a tantrum. I have such a hard time understanding this. I don't mean this personally to Elaine, but just in general, because it's bothered me for years. Doesn't it indicate a real need either for an escape in some way, or some other level of desperation, at that point? I've been hanging around my son and daughter's autistic peers for 8 years now, hearing this same type of explanation while the behaviors never change year to year, and I don't understand how kids who are struggling so much with day to day stuff on so many levels, simultaneously have the social giftedness to be able to manipulate and control whole roomfuls of people. I hear this type of explanation from a lot of the parents and educators at both my kids' schools (self contained and a magnet program) and it never makes sense to me - "they just want (attention, to get out of doing their work, etc.)" - ??? Why do they "need" to get to the point of throwing a tantrum to get those things, if that's really what they need or want?When I see the kids in my son's class getting close to meltdowns, it seems like it's because they've been pushed to the breaking point by something that nobody seemed to notice until almost too late - another child's noises, work that's too frustrating or tedious, needing a sensory break, bad headaches or stomachaches after lunch (most of the kids are not biomedically treated), no sleep the night before - I mean it's not acceptable to throw yourself on the ground, especially in middle and upper grades, and I don't allow tantrums at all here, but when my kids used to have them I always thought it was a clue to what *I* had done wrong, and figured it out that way. Why don't the teachers see it like, wow we better change things around so that kid isn't getting to the point of being out of control here, rather than "oh you know that kid, he just wants ___" ? There's one aide at my son's school who, the minute kids start to show some distress, like they're getting to a point where they need a break, starts yelling at them and getting rough with them. This always ends up with the kid throwing a tantrum (except my son), and then she gets sarcastic and says that the child just wanted to get out of finishing their work, and then makes them sit and finish it. My daughter has seen this a few times and she's like, "mom, doesnt she know (child's name) has autism?" Am I being naive? Are other people's kids crafty manipulators and I just think too well of children? That might be true, I tend to give children the benefit of the doubt, but maybe there really are some just plain lazy kids out there whose goal when they come to school is work avoidance? Do you think behavior techniques have a place when a child gets to this point of frustration? It just seems so cold and abandoning to me to use those methods with a child in so much distress.

Yes! there is a name for math disability too--Dyscalculia--inablity

to memorize numerical facts such as addition, subtraction,

multiplication tables. We spent over $2,000 one summer on tutoring in

multiplication tables. By August he knew them due to daily

repetition, by the end of Sept. he'd forgotten most of them! My son

is EXACTLY like what you described.

He also has no " internal numberline. " I think most people sort of

have this " numberline " where your nose is zero, to the right are

postive numbers and left are negative numbers? Unhuh. It is all a

jumble for him. He is also spatially challenged and in knowing where

body is in space: running into walls and other people...all related.

But dyscalculia is just as real as dygraphic and dyslexia.

A couple of suggestions that have worked a little with son are using

kinesthetic (spelling?) with learning. i.e. his math tutor had a

differen physical action, like slapping her leg or slapping her

forehead that went with each times table. Or tossing a bean bag back

and forth as he repeated the tables. Some of the music that teaches

the basics that way helped just a little.

Anything that is hands on for him helps, actual " pieces " that make up

a pie for fractions. But in all honesty, even though he reads at

grade level 12, his math skills are and have remained at about 3rd

grade level and we have tried and tried. It is most difficult and

impeding his progress at JobCorps. He's ready to finish the reading

part and has points to graduate...but the math section remains

behind. Even though he can use a calculator...he doesn't understand

what function to do. Oh, and the biggest help for him are

using " touch points " for addition and subtraction.

and he's still young - I still do not know if he will click into gear

at some point on this stuff. But for my friend, her ds is older and

this is obviously going to be a major problem in life for him.

They've done everything - games, tutoring, different curriculum,

etc. It's not going to sink in.

I heard Abeels speak at my son’s

school this past year. She suffers from this and wasn’t diagnosed until

7th grade. She has written a book, “My Thirteenth Winter”

about her disability which the students at Tyler’s school read. She is very inspiring.

She has a college education; I believe she has a master’s. I can’t

remember what her degree is in or what her main job is but she can’t even

tell time. She does travel a lot for speaking engagements – I think her

mom travels with her most of the time though she does live on her own. She was

finally diagnosed after she started having panic attacks from the stress of

trying to hide her disability.
