Activities and Strategies for an Inclusive Classroom

Joan D'Amico and Kate Gallaway

The middle school mathematics classroom is a unique learning environment. The mathematical content becomes more complex, requiring students to remember facts and formulas, while at the same time using them to solve problems. It can be very tricky to teach a class filled with students of varying learning styles and skill levels.

Praise for Differentiated Instruction for theMiddle School Math Teacher

"The authors clearly demonstrate how teachers can differentiate their instruction by using specific concrete examples for diverse learners ranging from resistant learners to students with physical disabilities to gifted learners. Detailed lesson plans outline easy-to-follow procedures."
?Dr. Care Terkelson, associate professor, Chapman University, Monterey, California

"This is an all-inclusive resource for the inclusive math classroom. Worksheets and instructional strategies are tied together to offer quick preparation for teachers and success for all students. It gives practical application to the 'one school, one curriculum' model and supports the fact that every student can learn mathematics?and enjoy it as well!"
