Intervention: Improving Number Recognition for Students with Dyscalculia
Students with dyscalculia, especially those with co-occurring developmental disabilities, often faces challenges in recognizing and working with numbers. This intervention will focus on enhancing numbers recognition and basic mathematical operation through multisensory, game-based learning strategies, inspired by research on interactive media and virtual environments.
Objective
Objective
To improve number recognition and foundational arithmetic skills in students with dyscalculia using a structured, multisensory approach.
Resources Needed
Resources Needed
Digital games that incorporate math concepts (e.g., "Tom's Rescue")
Interactive videos for number recognition (e.g., videos similar to those used in research studies)
Physical manipulatives like number card and counters
Instructional Steps:
Instructional Steps:
Warm-up Activity: Begin each session with a number recognition exercise. Use manipulatives (e.g., number cards) to allow students to match numbers to their corresponding quantities.
Interactive Learning: Introduce interactive math games designed to teach number operations and basic arithmetic, Games like "Tom's Rescue" can help students build confidence by solving situational math problems in a fun, engaging virtual environment.
Video-Based instruction: Play educational videos that introduce numbers and provide visual, auditory, and movement-based learning. Pause the video at key point to ask students to guess or recall the numbers shown on screen.
Hands-On Practice: Have students apply what they've learned using manipulatives to solve simple addition or subtraction problems. Encourage them to use visual aids like counters or fingers if needed.
Real-World Application: Reinforce concepts by integrating math into daily life. Use practical activities, like asking students to count items in the classroom or measure ingredients during a cooking activity.
Assessment
Assessment
Regularly assess student's progress by having them identify numbers and solve basic math problems in different formats (digital games, worksheets, and physical manipulatives).
Track improvement in number recognition and problem-solving through informal assessments at the end of each session.
This intervention aims to create a structured yet flexible learning environment that addresses the individual needs of students with dyscalculia. By combining interactive media, game-based learning, and multisensory activities, students can gradually build confidence and competence in math.
