Supporting Deaf Students' Math Learning
It is important to recognize the impact that hearing loss can have on learning, and accommodate each student's communication preferences to support math learning.
Hearing factors k-12
We typically learn to understand many foundational math concepts through what we hear, but also what we can touch, see, and manipulate.
We typically learn to understand many early math concepts through what we hear, but also what we can touch, see, and manipulate.
