Tier 2 Math AT & UDL


  • *Notes for students who are Blind or who have visual impairments

· Many of the resources below could fit into either tier. Not every resource would work for every student who is blind/who has a visual impairment. It is very important to involve the itinerant teacher when discussing math support.

· For students who have dual sensory loss – we would consider many of the same resources listed below, with a focus on tactile materials.

Some general recommendations from PRCVI

  • Use real objects or manipulatives to support concrete concepts like number sense, sorting, and basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
  • Use adapted measurement tools to measure volume or distance.
  • Introduce the abacus in a systematic way to promote speed and accuracy in performing calculations.
