1. Multiplication Chart - This is especially useful when you are checking students understanding of more difficult multiplication and division concepts. Are you testing the students on the process or their knowledge of multiplication facts?
2. Graph Paper - This works well for many students! It is difficult to complete a problem when you are unable to line up the numbers. Try it for all your students!
3. Number Lines - Once again, this can be a very appropriate accommodation. What is the standard or objective of the lesson? If your goal is for students to understand the process, rather than counting, then a number line may be appropriate.
4. Place Value Chart - Actually, many anchor charts are appropriate as accommodations and make a great way to scaffold instruction. The goal may be to wean the chart.

5. Chunking of Problems - I'm not talking about the math strategy of chunking numbers. Although, it is a good strategy. I am talking about breaking down assignments, worksheets, etc. into smaller sections. Math worksheets can appear extremely overwhelming for students. Cut the worksheet apart and give them a couple problems at a time. Place the pieces in a Ziploc bag with "TO DO" written on it. Provide an empty bag with the word, "COMPLETED!" You will be amazed at how motivating this can be for some students!
Keep in mind when you are making worksheets, how do they visually appear. Are they easy to follow? Too busy? Task cards are a great alternative to worksheets. If students understand the concepts, do they really need to do a 50 problem worksheet? Perhaps you can give a student five task cards to test the standard you are teaching. If the students completes the task cards with success, is there really a point to an entire packet of worksheets addressing the same standard?
Here are some FREE task cards for you to try!
