This book is an essential guide for educators committed to making math accessible to all students. Novak and Marlow expertly blend UDL principles with math teaching strategies to create inclusive, engaging environments that support diverse learners. This book empowers teachers to build confident, capable mathematicians and ensure every student feels valued and included in their math journey.
Improve the mathematic learning experience for your students and for yourself
Create a math learning environment that sends the message to learners that we are all capable mathematicians
Offer rigorous mathematics learning to all K-5 learners with creative, universally designed instruction
Universal Design for Learning in Mathematics Instruction should be required reading for all elementary math teachers who seek both theoretical and practical insights on making math more inclusive, engaging, and meaningful. Full of actionable steps, this essential resource is not just a book; it’s a call to action for teachers to rethink their approaches and embrace Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
“It is past time we face the fact that too many of our students miss out on the joy and satisfaction of learning authentic mathematics. In Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction K-5, Novak and Marlo describe mathematics instruction, teacher and student mindsets, and classroom culture that can foster success for all students. I believe the strength of this work are the clear and practical examples of UDL based instructional practices in the context of important grade level mathematical topics such as early numeracy, additive and multiplicative reasoning, and fractions. Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction K-5 should be required reading for all K-5 math teachers and instructional leaders.”
Educators will explore strategies to spark inclusive practices in the primary mathematics classroom using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This session will provide practical approaches and concrete examples to help you create a learning environment where all students can see themselves as capable mathematicians. By leveraging UDL, we can ensure every learner has access to meaningful and challenging opportunities in mathematics, building both skill and confidence.
At the end of this session, participants will:
