Universal Design for Learning in Mathematics Instruction, K-5 - Paperback

by Katie Novak (Author), Ashley Marlow (Author)

In this fast-paced, engaging new title in the UDL Now! series, Katie Novak and Ashley Marlow apply their expertise in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and equitable, inclusive instruction to the elementary math curriculum, answering questions from educators such as:

• What can I do to improve the math learning experience for my students and for myself?
• How do I create a math learning environment that sends the message that we are all capable mathematicians?
• What support and additional professional learning would I benefit from to make this happen?

The authors build on the critical work of the Algebra Project and the research-based principles of UDL to show that we can-and must-offer rigorous mathematics learning to all K-5 learners. They deserve no less, and with creative, universally designed instruction, we can deliver on that fundamental civil right.

Topics include: Cultivating early numeracy skills, growing positive mathematical mindsets, unlocking access to additive reasoning, deepening multiplication and division understanding, and inviting learners into the world of fractions.
