When inconsistency, creativity, and uniqueness is the norm, its hard to “research” neurodiverse populations. #SwDMathChat

mathematize4all Mar 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

One reason is that most math research has excluded SWD, so is the "normal" progression true for all learners?

A1b: Ts need to provide instruction in multiple modalities to assist with Ss learning differences #SwDMathChat

bkdidact - Moderator Mar 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

mathematize4all Mar 9 @ 9:21 PM EST

DDibley123 Mar 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: Ss who need/use visual models can make math visible for Ss who can't explain their thinking. "I just did it in my head." #SwDMathChat

_CLCook Mar 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: When Ss look at math problems in a different way than the T, we are forced to think new ways to approach instruction #SwDMathChat

diversity of thinking & classroom discourse is at the heart of “learning” Receiving is only a part of learning #SwDMathChat
