How does a student with low vision count with a 10-frame? A 10-frame box with room for con- necting cubes is an easy solution. The Equals Math curriculum kit includes 12 boxes so students can not only count cubes 1-10 but also group cubes by tens and ones and use in a place value chart.
How can a student esti- mate when she cannot picture an amount in her mind? Providing choices is an easy adaptation when a student is inexperienced with amount or is unable to picture an amount. In this photo, the student is estimating the amount in the bowl (10). The choices are far apart: 20, 2, and 9. Choices of any amount can be used, some more challenging than other, depending on the needs of the student. Numerical rep- resentations could also be used.
