A Statistics Curriculum Project to Support Learning for Students with Disabilities

Abstract

This curriculum project integrates grade 8th statistical content with instructional practices that support learning for students with disability (SWD). The instructional strategies included in the lessons can be applied in any mathematical classroom, but they were specifically designed to support SWD learning. The sequential lessons include identifying positive, negative, and no correlation of scatter plots, finding a line of best fit and applying scatter plots to real-world applications. The lessons are aligned to New York State Generation Standards for Grade 8 Mathematics. Keys for each lesson’s activities can be found in the Appendix.
