Amos is given the opportunity to participate with his class. If he refuses to participate, or if he becomes silly, he will be removed from the circle. Amos and the classroom aide might use the "study buddy," a large cardboard box that was once used to ship a refrigerator.
If Amos has spent too much time at the circle area, he becomes restless and it is even more difficult than normal for him to pay attention. He may be silly, but then get angry when the teacher or paraprofessional tries to redirect him. He might try to hit or kick, or sometimes he just goes limp in his chair or on the floor. It often helps if Amos can take a few minutes away from the group and eat a few pretzel sticks. The salty taste and the crunch provide mild sensory stimulus that can help him refocus.
Guided practice: students say addition equations when called upon in response to magnetic maniupulatives the teacher puts on the board.
Amos is non-verbal.
Amos can use manipulatives to respond to written or oral addition equations to solve.
See Recommendations #4 and #5.
Since Amos does not speak, he can represent his answers visually. Like most students with autism, Amos is very visual and demonstrating his knowledge for his teacher also helps reinforce his learning.
Independent practice: worksheet. Students solve problems on a page from the commercially-prepared math workbook.
Amos loves to draw; given pencil and paper, he might very well insist on drawing Star Wars characters and refuse to attempt addition problems.
The aide can show Amos how to draw some very simplified versions of some of his favorite Star Wars characters...

Change Your Name ____ Grade 3-6 Topic: Prefix and Suffix Spelling Dice Game NG FLSSS CCSS Time (optional) Activity Strategy/Need/Rationale (Prep Work for Instructor) Reading -- Choose six suffixes (-ed, -ing, -est, -en) and six prefixes (-un, -dis, -re) that students have struggled with in class, and write them on the sides of large wooden cubes or six-sided dice. Students will satisfy the Common Core State Standard
common core standards and the effects of Low SAT scores. The first one is on the inability of the common core to positively influence students while the second one explores the common core as being a tactical advantage. The first article tries to give an explanation of how the common core standards which are English and Language arts lack the ability of career ready and college students' development. The
common core standards affect students with exceptionalities? Should we apply these standards to students with exceptionalities? Why or why not? A lot of teachers and parents have shown great concerns related to the system of education presented for the students with special needs with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in different states (IDA, 2015 ). These Standards are challenging and tough for the general students alone and
Common Core Standards have been established in the field of education as a set of objectives for students to accomplish by the conclusion of their school year. These standards are geared towards enhancing students learning and outcomes through shaping curriculum. In addition, standards must serve as the foundation for a productive, balanced assessment system. This assignment focuses on unpacking a standard, creating a table of test specifications, and developing a
Common Core Standards Opponents of Common Core Standards have their points to make, and proponents have their key points to make as well. Which point-of-view will prevail in the long run? That question is impossible to answer but presenting both sides is what this paper sets out to do. Both sides of the issue have quality points to make, and they will be reflected here. Point: The Common Core State Standards Initiative
Middle School Common Core Standards for English Language Arts There is a growing consensus among middle school educators, including the National Education Association, that English language arts form the foundation for all other academic achievements. Consequently, it is not surprising that there has been a great deal of scholarship devoted to identifying optimal approaches to teaching English language arts over the years. One of the most influential outcomes of this
