Assistive technology and math believe it or not can go hand in hand. A computer can be a useful tool and tutor in providing instruction or repetitive practice for students. Students who cannot use paper and pencil can use various forms of assistive technology to complete math work and lessons. Manipulatives are very common in math classrooms to explore topics, and that can lend itself very nicely to students with disabilities who like to work with tactile objects.
I was unaware of how much assistive technology there is for mathematics. There are SO many great math programs out there that help students with their math skills. I think it's great for all learners because it's so much more engaging to be able to use the computer!
ReplyDeleteI was unaware as well! I was happy to see how much was available for math resources, especially since math is my favorite subject! The engagement that this resource offers students is great!
