Teach new concepts using CSA Sequence.
-First, model the new concept using concrete materials (manipulatives, actual students acting it out, fraction bars, etc.)
-Second, move students to semi -concrete using drawings or the computer as a visual representation of the concrete.
-Finally, transition students to the abstract, Give them actual number problems in mathematics, or ask questions about the concept, for example "what atoms combine to make water?"
* This teaching model has been used in Special Education for years but has been found to be equally beneficial for students in general education settings. A good Universal Design Learning technique.
