Summary
11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math to Students Who Have Given Up on Learning: Student Engagement Techniques That Motivate Students with Special Needs and Ignite Excitement for Every Student in the Classroom to Be Successful by Jordan B. Smith Jr. EdD.
Motivating teenagers to learn is a tough job.... Motivating them to enjoy math is harder than the Riemann hypothesis!
Math has certainly gotten a bad reputation for being a subject that involves endless calculations and problems that will never be used in the real world, especially now that we all walk around with calculators in our pockets!
But the fact is that math is required in multiple areas of an adult’s life, from preparing recipes to managing finances, and that’s without a career in STEM.
Neurodivergent students have even more of a difficult time with math as it can take more time and effort to understand complex concepts.
At the same time, as students with special needs have significant difficulties with transitions, math is more important for them to make sense of the world and thrive as adults.
While students have challenges learning and enjoying math, the special needs math teacher faces a wide range of obstacles–a severe lack of resources, guidance, and effective teaching strategies.
You have some help, though. In this guide to teaching math to students who need additional support, you will discover:
- How to create a community classroom where all students feel valued, connected, and safe
- Twenty-one of the best manipulatives your math classroom needs
- How to extrinsically and intrinsically motivate your high school students to study and learn math
- What it takes for students to overcome mistake anxiety, develop a growth mindset, and become confident in the classroom
- Fifteen apps to bring technology into the classroom and increase engagement in a way that is natural for students today
- Why students need real-world examples in math and how to keep it real with math
- Techniques to introduce peer-based learning to change the dynamics of your class
- How to implement proven strategies such as CVA and schema-based instruction to improve your math class
- Why you need to use the correct math vocabulary, plus a bonus detailed vocabulary list to have handy in class
- Six techniques to help your students retain information that doesn’t require hours of traditional studying and revision
- A step-by-step guide to creating your lesson plans and where to find the best resources for diverse activities across all math topics
- And much more.
As a special needs teacher, your time is already limited. From meetings to paperwork, there is little time left for actual teaching. Do you really have time to do more?
These 11 strategies aren’t about doing more. It’s about getting the most out of your students in the most effective and practical way. They will enable students to develop a deep love of math and skills they can take with them for other subjects and into adulthood.
For teachers of special needs students, this is the best gift you can give your students.
If your high school students need to discover a new love for math, then scroll up and click the “Buy Now” button right now.

Every classroom needs this!
In school I actually loved math, it was just something that I took to and for whatever reason, my teachers didn't encourage it, it was not until that I went to college that I had a really great professor that helped me unlock my potential. If my teachers in grade school had only learned these techniques then I really believe that I would have done much better back then, I love I that this audiobook focuses on student motivation and building a positive learning environment. Something I think should really ben encouraged in all classroom.
The author Jordan Smith Jr. presents 11 proven strategies that focus on building confidence, promoting a growth mindset, and in doing so has created a supportive learning environment for all students.
Overall, "11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math to Students Who Have Given Up on Learning" is a great audiobook, narration was awesome, Ashley Hudson is easy to listen to and understand. Author Jordan Smith Jr. has written a truly great book. Great Job.

I Like Math Now
Like me, most people do not like math. I never knew exactly why, but I just did. The only reason I believe is because it was hard, and putting more work into it didn't seem to make a difference. I am so thankful that someone took on the challenge to help children with math. The different needs of a classroom of kids to a child with special needs can be tricky. It gives strategies that can help everyone at any level of math. My favorite and most personal chapter was the method of using math in the real world. I also loved the chapter on using manipulatives to teach math to add another sense of touch to the learning of math. This book can help anyone teach math. Get it now.

Engaging Indeed
As a math's teacher myself I have encountered many dis interested students so I wondered what tips and tricks might be in this book. As it turns out, it's loaded with content and decent tips. I love the way chapter two started with an extremely corny but effective thought provoking joke. Nice touch by the author I have to say. As the chapter goes on it basically does what the title says and goes into ways to get your students re-engaged in math. In today's world of course technology plays a big part. Again as you would imagine the chapter dives into the different ways to integrate technology to the classroom. I definitely took a lot of ideas away from this book and I look forward to implementing them. Recommended.

Teaching can be tough at times
A very difficult obstacle to overcome is when the student has lost all motivation to continue. Whether it's their frustration with the material, themselves, or the teacher, it can be hard to recover from. So, what can we do to motivate our students if we find ourselves in that situation? Learn more by checking out this audiobook!

Great for Teaching Special Needs Kids Mathematics
11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math is a great audiobook that focuses primarily on teaching kids to be successful in math that have special needs. The book focuses a lot on motivation, creating community in the classroom, peer-based learning, and techniques to help students remember more information. One thing that I really liked was the summary of over a dozen apps that help bring technology into teaching math. As a father of three kids I enjoy using these apps, but this is not something that I was familiar with at all. I also liked the psychology section of the book and that it deals with helping kids over calm anxiety related to making mistakes and how to overcome these. I recommend this for any parent of a special needs child or a teacher that helps special needs children with math at school.
