Home Learning: Lesson Plans and Math Resources 2 Moderately/Severely Handicapped

Math Resources 2a
Team 2 Math Concepts: Place Value
Lesson Plans for Math Place Value
Material: sharpened pencils, eraser, calculator, whiteboard, 
whiteboard pen 

  • Student sets up work place with a clear desk-type surface. Places sharpened pencils and eraser in convenient spot.
  • Teacher discusses with student concepts of place value-ones (units), tens, hundreds, thousands.
  • Teacher asks student how the worksheet represents ones, tens, hundreds and thousands.
  • Student works on first five problems, then it is checked.
  • Student finishes page, it is checked, and placed in math folder.

Choose one page a week of place values.
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 Grade 2.

Team 2 Math Concepts: Calculation:Addition
Lesson Plans for Math Calculation:Addition
Material: sharpened pencils, eraser, calculator, whiteboard, 
whiteboard pen 



  • Student sets up work place with a clear desk-type surface. Places sharpened pencils and eraser in convenient spot.
  • Teacher discusses the concept of place value in relation to regrouping or carrying a number.
  • Student does first row of addition problems. It is checked.
  • Student proceeds to finish page. It is checked.Work is place in the math folder.
  • 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.


    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.

    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.
