Our Distinguished Speakers in Math Series showcases subject experts who will address relevant issues and hot topics in the field of mathematics.
Learning math can be challenging, especially for students who have specific learning disabilities. Language skills, executive functioning, motor planning, and math-specific visual processing skills all play a role in acquiring math competency. Specific deficits and their resulting impact will be explored. Methods will be presented that use minimum language demands and whole-to-part, multi-modal strategies to help students express, relate, store, and retrieve information efficiently.
The morning will focus on research and information, in the afternoon teachers will see the strategies in action. Dr. Woodin plans to target algebra TEKS in these activities with an eye to the concepts of slope and rate of change. Our target audience is Math teachers and those who support struggling Math learners.
Dr. Woodin is the Mathematics Department Head at the Landmark School. http://www.landmarkschool.org/
