Software and Apps for Students with Cognitive Difficulties
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
This website contains many interactive manipulatives for mathematical content. The manipulatives can help to give a physical representation to many of the abstract algebraic concepts. These can be used for whole class discussion, small-group work, or explored by individuals. |
TenMarks
The TenMarks website provides lessons and practice problems to help increase mathematical fluency. The website allows for differentiation among the class so that any learners with cognitive difficulties are not frustrated by content that is too challenging and there are options for students to get hints to help complete a problem. |
Math Playground
This website provides students a game-based way to practice with basic arithmetic facts. Students will struggle with algebra content if they cannot perform arithmetic calculations or have some number sense. The games allow students to practice in a fun and motivational environment to gain understanding and fluency. |
