I will make sure that each student will be receiving work that is suitable to
their academic needs. For the Ex. Ed. Students, I will give them a graphic
organizer consisting of arrays in order to help them understand the
concept better. Different worksheets will be given to students depending
on their skill set. For example, I will give Independent Practice 1 to low
level students, Independent Practice 2 to mid-level students and the
advance worksheet to high level students. I will modify work for those that
need modification and challenge those that need to be challenged. I will
have a variety of multiplication worksheets to address the academic needs
of each student. I will emphasize to the students that each step of the
problem is tied to another step to ensure caution and reduce haste in their
work. Each student will have a graphic organizer and will be filling out their
graphic organizer with the information I provide them with on the
Promethean Board.
