Home Learning: Lesson Plans and Math Resources 1 for Severely Handicapped Students

Math Resources 1  
Team 1 Math Patterns-Simple Math


Lesson Plans for Math Patterns
Materials: two pages printed, one for demo. A white board and
whiteboard pen, any color.

Student sets up work place with a clear desk-type surface.

Places sharpened pencils and eraser in convenient spot.

Teacher says, “We are looking at patterns that are the same.
These are shapes we can draw. Let’s say the pattern shapes together.”

While pointing at each shape, the teacher and student say the words
together as clearly as possible.

Pointing to the blank line, the teacher asks, “What shape is

next? Say and point to the one we should draw there.”

Student indicates appropropriate shape; if wrong, teacher and
student repeat
saying and pointing to the pattern together.
Teacher asks again.

The teacher draws the shape on the whiteboard. Student traces it with finger. Then copies it on whiteboard. 
Student draws shape on printed page. May erase once. 
If the student loses interest in working on this page,
put it in a folder and work on it the next day during math time.
Slow and steady wins the race.


Choose one page a week of math patterns.
I use K-5 Learning https://www.k5learning.com/ as a resource.
Parents or Teacher Surrogates can peruse the choices and add on
pages as you see your student is interested. I usually use level
Pre-K and Kindergarten. https://www.k5learning.com/free-



Team 1 Cut-Sort-and Paste
Lesson Plans for Cut-Sort-and Paste
Materials: pages printed, student scissors, glue stick
Student sets up work place with a clear desk-type surface. Sets out
scissors, glue stick,
sharpened pencil and eraser.
Teacher will discuss the page with the student first.
Possibly recall a time the student visited the location and used the items.
Use prior knowledge of the location and items. Ask the student to point to
and say the name of the item and point to and say where the item belongs.
Have the student cut out the picture and glue it in the appropriate location.


Modified Lesson Plan for Sorting
Student sets up work place with a clear desk-type surface.
Sets out sharpened pencil and eraser.Teacher asks student
about the familiar locations and items. Student indicates which items
belong on each location and follows directions read by teacher.


Choose one page a week of math sorting activities.
I use K-5 Learning https://www.k5learning.com/ as a resource.
Parents or Teacher Surrogates can peruse the choices and
add on pages as you see your student is interested.

I usually use level Pre-K and Kindergarten. 






Remember, teacher, one step at a time.
Keeping a reasonable schedule-for example, having math at the same time
each day (we had it at 10:00 am)- will build security and
interest in your homeschooling.
When your student is clearly finished with the task,
end the lesson on a positive note.
