Adapting a Lesson Plan in a Regular Education

Classroom
You are an elementary education teacher and want to teach the class a math addition
lesson today. You are planning on first reviewing with the students how to do addition, and then
you will provide addition examples on the board. Next, you will explain a math interactive
*game. Then you will give all the students a worksheet for them to work on at their desks and
while most of the class is working at their desks, you will bring one table at a time to the rug to
play the game. After one table has completed the game, they will sit down and work on the
worksheet while you bring another group up. How can you accommodate this lesson for
students with the following disabilities?

*The game will be a bean bag toss. There will be two columns of large squares laid out on the
rug and one student at a time will throw one bean bag into the column of numbers labeled 1-5
and one bean bag in the second column of squares labeled 6-9 so each bean bag will land on
one of the squares with a number on it. Whichever two squares the bean bags land on, the
student will have to do mental addition in their head of the two numbers their bean bags landed
on. They will then give the answer to the addition problem verbally to the teacher.

Modifications:

Example:
1. ​ADHD​​ (trouble focusing and doing tasks for an extended period of time):
-Always make sure the student is seated by the teacher’s desk to stay focused
-Create the practice math worksheet with fewer problems so the student doesn’t get
overwhelmed

2. ​Physical disability​​ (needs to remain at their desk):

3. ​Speech Impairment ​(trouble vocalizing opinions and answers):

4. ​Social Disability​​ (likes to be alone when doing activities):

5. ​Learning Disability​​ (one year behind other students, can do addition for numbers 1-5):
