Super Simple Systems of Equations High School Special Education Easy Algebra

These special education math worksheets are part of a super simple math curriculum for special education that covers systems of equations. They are based on state-extended learning standards.

What is Super Simple?

• Super simple indicates that it is intended for students working at a K-1 level and need maximum support.
• Problems are simplified.
• Pictures are used throughout.
• Intended for students in self-contained settings.
• Printable and digital activities for more practice.

This unit addresses:

• Real-world situations that are systems in disguise
• Identifying variables
• How variables are related

Uses pictures and simple math.

Students have many opportunities to engage in repeated information on working through real-world systems. This repetition helps students connect to this important and often abstract information.

There are 5 group activities using materials that are easy to find or likely already in your classroom. Work through systems using objects to help students make more concrete connections.

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include differentiated versions.

See the preview for a more detailed look at the contents.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
