Activity 4: Mathematics Task Support Plan Needs to be E Learning
Mathematics Support Plan |
Student E Note: Student E also needs support with e-learning in a mathematics task: |
a) Year Level If in a Special School or Special Education Unit, explain here e.g. Year 3 working at Prep level |
Student in Yr 5. Working at a Yr 3 level. |
b) Describe the required e-learning mathematics task requirements in detail, as confirmed by the classroom Teacher e.g. Play addition games in World Maths series |
What is the student required to do? Why? |
c) Identify the curriculum strand in which the activity belongs e.g. Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry or Statistics and Probability |
There are three strands in maths. Which strand does the activity belong to? |
d) Describe how you familiarised yourself with the e-learning program or system prior to the support session e.g. Observed the Teacher/Teacher aide logged into Mathletics and communicating with students |
Did you discuss the activity or program before with the teacher? Discussion with students? Have you used it before? Did you ask questions? Did you observe others using it? Have you used it before? |
e) Describe the students learning support needs relating to the e-learning mathematics task e.g. How to log on to Mathletics and locate the tabs for the program |
What did the student need assistance with relating to e-learning mathematics? Use of program? Content? Why? What are the needs of the student? Relate to task also? How are you going to support them? What is the role of the TA? |
f) Describe the learning environment you used for this support session E.g. One-on-one or small group within the classroom or outside the classroom. In a quiet area, in a break out space |
Where? Classroom, computer lab, quiet area? |
g) Describe any modifications (reasonable adjustments) you made to the task or resources to suit the students needs e.g. Student is a kinaesthetic learner and needs to handle objects to consolidate numeracy concepts |
Refer to handout Accommodations and Modifications E Learning different levels? |
h) Describe how you used explicit talk to focus students on specific mathematics knowledge and skills e.g., Asked the student which mathematical operation they would use with this problem? |
What did you say? Expectations? Explanations? Introduce topics? Check their knowledge? Open ended questions? Specific maths language and terminology? |
i) Describe the resources and/or activities you used to support the students mathematics knowledge and understanding e.g. Went outside and collected gumnuts support addition concepts with concrete objects |
What did you use? What was the activity? Concrete materials with Laptop or PC or Ipad specific programs/apss (need to be online) Paper or pen, maths book |
j) Describe how you encouraged the student to make links with everyday life contexts of the mathematical application e.g. Asking what would they count and add when they went shopping |
How did you relate the maths concept and activity to real life? Discussed it? |
k) Provide an open-ended question you asked the student to help scaffold the mathematical learning process e.g., Tell me why you first added 4 to 6? |
What could you ask that would simply, break down and support the student? Prompts? Open ended questions? |
l) Discuss with the classroom Teacher and ask: |
I. How the Teacher can track the students progress with the program; and How is student progress monitored using the E Learning Program? What information does the program provide? |
II. What the Teacher likes/dislikes about the program. Pros? Cons? |
|
m) Summarise the progress report you gave the classroom Teacher after the session to inform of future support needs e.g. Student still struggles with controlling the pencil and needs hand strengthening exercises |
Student Participation? Behaviour? Progress? Improvements? How much was accomplished? Recommendations? More revision? Does it need to repeated? |
Mathematics Support Plan |
Student F |
a) Year Level If in a Special School or Special Education Unit, explain here e.g. Year 9 working at Year 5 level in Maths |
Refer to Student E notes but this is not based on an e-learning activity. |
b) Describe the mathematics task in which you supported the student e.g. Converting fractions to percentages |
|
c) Identify the curriculum strand in which the activity belongs e.g. Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry or Statistics and Probability |
|
d) Describe the specific learning support needs of the student e.g. Student did not understand percentages |
|
e) Describe the learning environment you used for this support session e.g. One-on-one or small group within the classroom or outside the classroom. In a quiet area, in a break out space |
|
f) Describe any modifications (reasonable adjustments) you made to the task or resources to suit the students needs e.g. Student is a kinaesthetic learner and needs to handle objects to consolidate concepts, so we made a model of a pizza to use |
g) Describe how you used explicit talk to focus students on specific mathematics knowledge and skills e.g. Explained to student that if I ate 100% of a pizza, it meant I had eaten the lot. So, we then had to calculate what percentage I would have eaten if I had eaten , , |
|
h) Describe the resources and/or activities you used to support the students mathematics knowledge and understanding e.g. Used food items from his lunchbox to reinforce the concept of percentages |
|
i) Describe how you encouraged the student to make links with everyday life contexts of the mathematical application e.g. I related it to the amount of money he would save if I said he had to put away 20% of his allowance each week |
|
j) Provide an open-ended question you asked the student to help scaffold the mathematical learning process e.g., Why did you divide by 5? |
|
k) Describe how you encouraged the student to check their solutions by estimating or using a calculator |
|
l) Describe the contingency plans you made in case the student continued to have difficulty with the activity |
|
m) Summarise the progress report you gave the classroom Teacher after the session to inform of future support needs e.g. Student has grasped the concept now we have related percentages to food but will need revision next session |
