What Are Some Creative Ways Of Teaching Remedial Math?

Students who need remedial math instruction may benefit from alternative types of instruction. These students may not learn well from traditional classroom lectures and practice worksheets, so giving them more lessons and worksheets may only frustrate them. When you're teaching remedial math, you may want to consider using hands-on activities and inquiry based lessons.

Math inquiry lessons are student-focused. Teachers give students materials and minimal direction; students then explore the topic and construct their own meaning. If you want to learn more about math inquiry, you can view the free professional development videos available from Learner.org.

The Futures Channel is a website devoted to connecting learning to real world applications and has a list of ideas and videos about hands-on math activities.
