1 Assistive Technology: Math

2 Electronic Math Worksheets Electronic math worksheets are software programs that can help a user organize, align, and work through math problems on a computer screen. Problems can be read aloud via a speech synthesizer. This may be helpful to people who have trouble aligning math problems with pencil and paper. Examples: MathTalk, Math Pad www.greatschools.org/special-education/assistive-technology/

3 Computer Programs Wild West Math: Develop and refine fundamental math skills. (Grades 2-6) Math Heads: Develop pre-algebra skills; word problems Astro Algebra: Familiarity with whole and rational numbers, decimal, fractions, ratios, proportions, and percent. Cosmic Geometry: Virtual Manipulatives help students make the connection between concrete and abstract concepts.

4 Talking Calculators A talking calculator has a built-in speech synthesizer that reads aloud each number, symbol, or operation key a user presses; it also vocalizes the answer to the problem. This auditory feedback may help him/her check the accuracy of the keys he presses and verify the answer before he/she transfers it to paper. Available on multiple sits online in several different styles. www.greatschools.org/special-education/assistive-technology/

5 Talking Tape Measure A talking tape measure announces the measured length. A tool like this can be use to help students with learning measurements.

6 Websites Cool Math: Exploring math through games and activities Cynthia Lanius’ Lessons: Understanding fractions Education 4 Kids : Drill games IXL: Skills broken down by grade level; interactive lessons Information was found at:  http://atclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/09/math-math-and- more-math.html http://atclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/09/math-math-and- more-math.html

7 Assistive Technology Devices for Students Struggling in Mathematics Resources Large chart divided devices by subject matter as well as what grade level the device is best for.  Categories include: Time, Money, Measurement, Calculations and Problem Solving http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/DMGetDocument.aspx/ AT_Devices_to_Support_Math.pdf?p=6CC6799F8C 1371F6FBF2132D40E80BD697253F95E5C6E3F845 A8B0264B36AC54&Type=D http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/DMGetDocument.aspx/ AT_Devices_to_Support_Math.pdf?p=6CC6799F8C 1371F6FBF2132D40E80BD697253F95E5C6E3F845 A8B0264B36AC54&Type=D
