A Quick Word About Strategies
We must take time to teach the strategy first and give
students sufficient time to practice the strategy without a focus solving the problem.

Cover-Copy-Compare
•This method is for independent drill and practice.
•Math worksheets for computational problems.
•Left side - completed problem with answers.
•Right side - same problem - blank and unsolved.
•Cover left side with large index card
•Copy the problem on the right
•Solve and compare with answer on the left.

DifferentiatedCover-Copy-Compare
Provide the problem on the right. Provide boxes, lines, and spaces for students to write their answers.
No peeking! Laminate a flip folder and velcro left side down.
Partner work.

Incremental Rehearsal Builds student fluency in math facts.
Pairs unknown computation items with increasing known items.

Incremental RehearsalHow-to
1. Review a collection of math facts with the student.
2. Anything the student answers in 2 seconds place in the known pile.
3. Anything the student cannot answer within 2 seconds goes in the unknown pile. 12
+ 7_______________
2
+ 3_______________
Unknown Known

Incremental RehearsalHow-to
1. Choose one card from the unknown pile.
2. Read the fact and answer.• 12 + 7 = 19
3. Student repeats.4. Choose a card from the known pile.5. Student reads the fact and answers
in sequence.6. Correct = answered within 2
seconds.

When Helping Students Learn Basic Facts...
Create real- world problems for the students
to apply the facts.
Create problems they can make a personal connection to.

STAR MethodSearch the word problem
Translate the words into an equation in picture form
Answer the problem
Review the solution

General Adaptations1) Re- word directions on worksheets2) Highlight/bold/underline key words3) Fewer items on a page4) Chunk test items by function5) Provide ample space to solve6) Use checklists for lengthy
problems7) Terminology/vocabulary posters8) Give correct examples

Allow Students to Play Teacher
(Remember Mr. Khan)
This aids students in:
Learning the language of math
Explaining their reasoning
Connecting and integrating knowledge
