, A predominantly male third-grade class has several students with moderate learning disabilities.
Which instructional strategy would help the teacher provide equitable learning opportunities
for this diverse class? - ANS Teach multiple representations of ideas for one problem at a
time
A first-grade class includes students who lack motivation and students with mild learning
disabilities. Which two instructional strategies would meet the needs of this group of students
as they study math? - ANS A) Help transitioning from a problem to a particular
representation
B) Opportunities to discuss problems and ideas with other students
The objective of a lesson is for students to solve word problems involving the multiplication of
multi-digit numbers. Although able to solve multi-digit multiplication problems, one student
struggles to solve word problems. How can this student's needs be accommodated? - ANS A)
The student solves the multi-digit multiplication problems. The teacher models the problem-
solving process for the word problem, and then prompts and questions the student.
B) The student solves word problems involving the multiplication of multi-digit numbers. The
student uses a calculator to multiply the numbers.
A teacher has students with special needs and students with high ability in class. The teacher
grouped the students by ability level for a lesson on creating pie graphs to represent data. In the
lesson, the teacher is prepared to provide step-by-step instructions for the students with special
needs about how to construct a pie graph. The teacher has also planned to engage the high-
ability students in constructing a survey to gather data, and creating a pie graph to summarize
the data. How effectively does this lesson plan address the needs of all students? - ANS The
lesson effectively addresses the needs of all students. The complexity of the tasks for the
different groups of students is based on ability.
The objective of a lesson is for students to learn to measure angles with a protractor. The
teacher has grouped the students by ability. All students are given a protractor and a worksheet
with pictures of many different angles. Groups of students work together to develop strategies
