Webinar - Math through the Lens of UDL
In this universally designed webinar session, we considered why math is “special” in terms of historical instruction practices and mindsets about the content area. We revisited the general characteristics of a quality ‘UDL-ified goal’ and practice separating the math goals from the means. We examined lessons where the means is the goal and thought about how we can still identify and focus on the underlying conceptual understanding that is required to enact a specific skill.
We can redesign our math lessons to help our students grapple with connected mathematical representations and express their mathematical understanding in a variety of ways.
