• What causes difficulties in learning Math?
• What are the potential areas of difficulties
in learning Math?
• What information can we obtain from a
student’s work?
What causes difficulties in
learning Math?
Mathematics is a symbolic language used to:
• express relationships – spatial, numeric,
geometric, algebraic, and trigonometric, in both
real and imaginary dimensions ;
• communicate concepts through symbols;
• reinforce and practise sequential and logical
thinking.
(Clayton, 2003)
A. Nature of Math (Chinn & Ashcroft, 1998)
• Interrelated
Parts are learned that later
on build into wholes.
What are needed to
learn:
• place values?
• adding dissimilar
fractions?
• long division?

What will happen
when a student does
not learn some of
these parts?

• Sequential
The learning of higher
skills depends on the
learning of basic skills.

B. Structure (Chinn & Ashcroft, 1998)
Math is learned
from concrete
to abstract
Levels of difficulty build
up as the lessons
progress.
B. Structure (Chinn & Ashcroft, 1998)
Implications:
1. If the basic levels are skipped or not well-taught, the
foundations of learning become shaky.
2. When foundations are shaky, learning becomes
segmented, thus the student has to resort to
memorization.
3. When lessons are simply memorized, more effort is
needed to learn higher-level lessons.
C. Skills and Processes
(DepEd Math Curriculum 2013)
• Knowing and understanding
• Estimating, computing, and solving
• Visualizing and modelling
• Representing and communicating
• Conjecturing, reasoning, proving, and
decision-making
• Applying and connecting
D. Characteristics of School Math
• There are rules but
they do not apply all
the time
• Answers are either
right or wrong
• Tasks require
concentration
E. Math Language
• Symbols + – x  =     
 A = r2
• Vocabulary Algebra, perimeter, sine
even, pound, table
• Syntax and
Semantics

REMEDIATION
Preview
1. Introduction to Remediation
2. Some Remedial Teaching Strategies
3. Principles of Remediation
4. The Remedial Plan
The commonly accepted idea of
remediation as a careful effort to
reteach successfully what was not well
taught or not well learned during the
initial teaching. (Glennon & Wilson, 1972)
What is remediation?
Students who show lags in math
performance that are unlike his or her
potential or performance in other
academic areas
Who needs math remediation?
Do not allow children who may have special
needs to go from one grade to another
without a professional team assessing the
student for eligibility for services and
supports. "Waiting" is NOT an effective,
educational practice. Although the process of
referral can be cumbersome, it is well worth it
when it identifies needs that can be met
during the educational life of the child.
– Barbara T. Doyle, Johns Hopkins School of Education
The Remediation Process
1) Identify the concepts, skills, procedures to be
retaught.
2) Collect supporting information, such as
anecdotes, work portfolio, and assessment
reports.
3) Select appropriate re-teaching methods and
strategies.
4) Provide remediation.
5) Evaluate and determine next steps.
1) Structure of Mathematics
2) The student’s strengths and
difficulties
• Error analysis
• Formal Testing
• Diagnostic Testing
3) Remedial instruction strategies

PRINCIPLES OF
INTERVENTION
1. Build on what the child knows
 Show interconnectedness of lessons
 Promote reasoning
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
2. Acknowledge the student’s learning
style
 T’s best method might not work
 Let student discover the strategies that
work for him
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
3. Make math developmental
 Use the concrete-representational-
abstract progression
 Employ gradual transfer
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
4. Use the language that communicates
the idea
 Use the child’s language
 Use visuals, real objects, experiences
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
PPt-Math-Interventions (Ramirez, C., Templa R.).ppt
5. Use the same basic numbers to
build an understanding of each
process or concept
 Make instruction success-oriented
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
5. Teach ‘why’ as well as ‘how’
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
7. Keep a
responsive
balance in all of
teaching
Principles of Intervention
(Chinn & Ashcroft, 2007)
If the child does not learn the way you
teach, then you must teach the way he learns.
