Making Math Accessible and Engaging for All: UDL Takeaways for K-5
Description
Today, math is often still taught the same way it was decades ago, but our students’ needs have evolved, and their performance on standardized tests shows it. We now recognize that learners vary in countless ways, and the idea that “there’s only one way to teach math” no longer holds up. Research shows us that integrating Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles creates more accessible and engaging math classrooms. With UDL, we can shift the narrative for students, helping them discover a love of learning and build confidence in math from an early age. In this episode you’ll learn how UDL plays a vital role in creating inclusive math classrooms for all students in grades K-5, no matter the curriculum you have adopted.
Katie Novak will share concrete strategies for effective K-5 math instruction, including how to incorporate inquiry-based learning, building clarity around learning goals, providing options and choices, incorporating visual representations, and promoting self-reflection.
