| Target |
Younger and older children with: • physical disabilities • difficulties with visual perception, as well as with viewing the numbers up to 10 as cardinal numbers and with number concepts generally(elementary division) |
|---|---|
| Disability category | physically challenged |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | arithmetic, mathematics |
| Specific purposes | To enable younger and older children to develop the concept of numbers and of cardinal numbers up to 10 |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
• The children are first encouraged to make several bunches of numbers and to then connect them to perceive larger numbers. This practice is repeated so that they can master this skill. • The children are then encouraged to make images through the handling of objects and verbalization around them. • The teacher is required to clarify and organize the work procedures. |
| Expected effects and results | The flash cards can be used in other subjects. They are good for training younger and older children who act slowly and need time to answer questions to become aware of the time required to formulate an answer and supply it by focusing on the key points. While enjoying competing with their friends, the children are able to acquire the ability to answer quickly and correctly. The flash cards need to be clear enough for younger and older children to understand, at a glance, the answer required. As with drills, already-learned content needs to be used repeatedly to enable the children to acquire skills. |
| How to use |
1. Prepare printed thick-paper cards or web cards that can be displayed one by one by using presentation software. 2. Set the timer for 1 minute; immediately the teacher then begins presenting the cards one by one to the child, and the child instantly answers with the number of stars (or dots). The teacher waits until the child answers. When the answer is correct, the teacher presents the next card; when the answer is incorrect, the teacher continues presenting the same card until the child can answer correctly. Skipping cards is not allowed. 3. Evaluate the results on the basis of the number of cards answered correctly in 1 minute. Children can compete with their friends, try to achieve their goals, and compare their current results with previous ones to confirm improvement. 4. Alternatively, determine the number of cards in advance and measure the time taken to answer all of the questions. |
