CONTENT AREA:​ Geometry

OBJECTIVE: ​Experiment with transformations in the plane

How can you address the UDL principles for the selected information above?
Determine what tools can be used to support and enhance student learning
BY ALL students.

Mild Intellectual Disability

Low Tech ideas: The students with mild intellectual disabilities can be
provided 2D and 3D models to better understand an object's motions through
transformations. We can color code the vertices so when the object is
transformed the student can keep track of the points.

High Tech ideas: The students with mild intellectual disabilities can be
provided transformation instructional videos with color- coded shapes and
vertices to rewatch. This will allow them to focus on the mathematics rather
than the management of keeping up with different symbols and notation.
After they grasp the mathematics we can tweak the symbols and notation.

Supportive APPS: ModMath helps students with mild disabilities to learn

math via iPad.

UDL Strategy (Wheel): The ​why o ​ f our tech ideas fall under Options for
Recruiting Interest: Vary activities and sources of information so that they
can be personalized and contextualized to learners’ lives, and provide tasks
that allow for active participation, exploration, and experimentation.

Attention Difficulties
Low Tech ideas: Students with attention difficulties can use 2-D models and
3-D models to physically move shapes through transformations.

High Tech ideas: Students with attention difficulties complete their

assignment through a guided Desmos activity. They can complete each
transformation task one at a time. They have to finish the question they are
on before they move on to the next task.

Supportive APPS: Math Ninja is an app that makes math fun for students
while helping them practice various math activities.

UDL Strategy (Wheel): The ​why ​of our tech ideas fall under Options for
Recruiting Interest: Vary activities and sources of information so that they
can be personalized and contextualized to learners’ lives, and provide tasks
that allow for active participation, exploration, and experimentation.

Physical Disabilities
Low Tech ideas: Some students with physical disabilities can use wax paper
in order to visualize rotations on a graph.

High Tech ideas: Speak to text to understand the convey ideas. We can also
active other accessible features that might be on their phone or a school
computer

Supportive APPS: ListNote can help students take notes during instructional
time by using voice to text.

UDL Strategy (Wheel): The how of our tech ideas fall under options for
physical action: provide alternatives for physically responding or indicating
selections , provide alternatives for physically interacting with materials, and
use keyboard commands for mouse action.
 English as a Second Language
Low Tech ideas: Review mathematical symbols using flashcards. Students
learning a new language could be given a list of words with an associated
picture, and the associated mathematical symbol.

High Tech ideas: The students can use a handheld translator during
instructional time. Some textbooks may be available in a different language.

Supportive APPS: Google Translate can help students define terms that are
unknown to them.

UDL Strategy (Wheel): These tech options represent the ​what​ of the wheel.
They support decoding of text, mathematical notation, and symbols. This will
also present key concepts in more than one form of symbolic representation.

Sensory Impairment
Auditory Visual

Low Tech ideas: The students with
auditory impairment can be given a
copy of the completed geometry
notes before the lesson, so they can
follow along during instruction.
High Tech Ideas: The students with
auditory impairments can use a
transformation instructional video
Low Tech ideas: For visual
impairments the student can use the
Jumbo Magnetic X-Y coordinate white
board. The board can be used to
enlarge images related to the lesson or
tasks that involve graphing
coordinates. The students can work on
this board rather than a small printed
graph.
with closed captions to supplement
their learning.
Supportive APPS: Hand Talk: A
translator for sign language
UDL Strategy (Wheel): These tech
options represent the WHAT of the
wheel by providing written
transcripts for videos or auditory
clips.
High Tech ideas: A high tech option
for these students can be plotting their
coordinates on Desmos.
Supportive APPS: Desmos is available
as an app, and it has accessible
features.
UDL Strategy (Wheel): These tech
options represent the HOW of the
wheel. They provided different
physical options for the students.
Provide alternatives for physically
responding or indicating selections
(e.g. to marking with pen and pencil, to
mouse control)
