Low and Mid-tech adaptations for Math Assignments

If you are getting concerned reading the list educational applications for math and how you will use assistive technology in a math lesson, have no fear! There are lots of ways to incorporate low tech and mid tech adaptations to math lessons that will come naturally to any good teacher! 

Manipualtives, a low tech aid, which any good teacher should use and would have at his/her disposal are a great way to adapt any paper/pencil lesson. Make it hands on and fun! Students will be much more engaged if they have base ten blocks in front of them, instead of just a worksheet.

Onion Mountain Technologies produces lots of useful manipulatives such as number lines, fraction rubber stamps, addition/multiplication tables, and a special ruler with different unit overlays.

For students with fine motor disabilities, a calculator with oversized buttons will help them to input numbers easier. A talking calculator is great for students with visual impairments.

Touch Math is a great low tech curriculum for students with an Intellectual Disability. They have curriculums for touch addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and money.
