Target | Children with hearing impairment who can learn subjects (elementary division) |
---|---|
Disability category | deaf and hard of hearing |
Teaching units / Applicable scenes | arithmetic, mathematics |
Specific purposes |
To enable children in the first grade of the elementary division to: • express the location of the designated drawer by using numbers: for example, the drawer is in the second column from the right and the third row from the top • indicate the drawer that corresponds to the position indicated on a question card: for example, the drawer is in the second column from the right and the third row from the top • understand ordinal and cardinal numbers. |
Considerations for disability characteristics |
• After indicating the drawer, the child opens it and finds out what is inside. The drawers are very colorful: because the children’s favorite items are placed inside, they are interested in and enjoy repeating this activity, like playing a game. • The use of cards, on each of which a question is written, helps the children visually to understand the question. • This teaching material can be used for both mass teaching and personal teaching. |
Expected effects and results |
• Children enjoy themselves while expressing the position of a drawer by using numbers. • The roles of questioner and answerer can be easily changed, and the questions can be presented in a variety of ways. |
How to use |
• Use the three-drawer containers available at 100 yen shops and stick them together with double-faced tape. Change the number of containers to suit the child and the difficulty of learning. • Put the children’s favorite items, such as magnets and ohajiki (flattened, lozenge-shaped marbles), in a drawer. (Items can be put into multiple drawers, depending on the situation.) • For personal teaching, put items such as stickers in the drawer; the teacher can give the child a sticker as a reward when the child answers correctly. |
