Description
Turn overwhelming word problems into a simple, 5-step checklist! 🕵️♂️🔢
Word problems are notoriously difficult for neurodivergent students and those with support needs because they require reading comprehension, executive functioning, and math skills all at the same time. This Decode Word Problems Task Analysis removes the cognitive overload by giving students a concrete, visual checklist to follow for every single problem.
Priced at just $1, this resource is an absolute must-have for your Special Education math toolkit!
📦 WHAT’S INCLUDED:
1. Differentiated Visual Bookmarks (3 Versions)
- Perfectly sized to tape to a desk or keep in a math folder!
- Text-Heavy, Symbol-Supported, and Minimalist options so you can fade visual prompts as your student gains independence.
- Visual cues are built right into the text! (e.g., the word "Numbers" is circled to show students exactly what their pencil should be doing).
2. Full-Page Visual Anchor Chart
- Great for whole-group instruction or to hang on your Math Focus Wall.
3. "How-To-Teach" Guide for Staff & Paras
- A step-by-step breakdown of how adults should prompt this specific task analysis.
- Explicit instructions (like "Don't do anything else in this step!") ensure that staff members support executive functioning without accidentally doing the cognitive work for the student!
4. Ready-to-Use IEP Data Collection Sheet 📈
- A pre-formatted data sheet tailored perfectly to the 5-step decoding routine.
- Includes a built-in Prompt Hierarchy Key (Independent, Visual, Verbal, Model, Physical) at the bottom for accurate, consistent tracking.
🎯 PERFECT FOR:
- Special Education Resource Rooms & Inclusion Classrooms
- Teaching Executive Functioning in Math
- Paraprofessional data collection
💡 HOW TO USE:
Print, laminate, and give the student a dry-erase marker. Have them physically check off each of the 5 steps (Read, Question, Numbers, Clues, Write) as they work through their math assignments. Watch their math anxiety disappear as they learn a predictable routine!
