Adding single digit numbers

 

In this activity, the student is learning to add single digit number. We used the laminated number cutouts with Velcro to choose the answer from. The numbers also had touch points and visual blocks to represent the number. 

Use blocks as manipulative

 

 Use blocks to teach counting. The manipulative needs to be based on student’s interest. Since this student’s favorite activity is playing with the blocks, the teacher used these blocks for teaching counting. Students with autism like to count teddy 🧸 bears/ gummy 🐻 bears, or Thomas the train 🚂 as manipulatives. Be creative and develop the worksheet based on students’ interest.
