SPND 409P Teaching Algebra and Beyond
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards emphasize application and exploration as a way of learning math concepts. This seminar examines the learning styles displayed by students with language-based learning disabilities and the learning theories as they apply to the math learner with LD through examination and examples from the Pre-Algebra, Algebra (I and II), and Geometry classroom. The focus of this seminar is to provide teachers a new way to think about their students and some specific strategies that can be applied to the topics that they teach.
