1 What is UDL?

UDL is a framework that guides the design of inclusive and accessible learning environments that meet the needs of all learners. UDL is based on three principles: providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. These principles help you to offer your students choices and flexibility in how they learn, access, and demonstrate their math knowledge and skills.

2 What is scaffolding?

Scaffolding is a strategy that helps you to support your students' learning by providing them with appropriate guidance and feedback as they progress through a task or concept. Scaffolding helps you to adjust the level of challenge and support according to your students' readiness, prior knowledge, and zone of proximal development. Scaffolding can take various forms, such as modeling, questioning, prompting, explaining, or providing examples, hints, or tools.

3 How can UDL and scaffolding help with math anxiety?

Math anxiety is a fear, nervousness, or stress that students experience and can negatively impact their performance and attitude in math. This anxiety can be caused by various factors such as negative experiences, high expectations, low self-efficacy, or lack of support. UDL and scaffolding can help reduce math anxiety by creating a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages motivation, engagement, and confidence. Through UDL and scaffolding, you can address individual needs, preferences, and goals; provide multiple ways to learn and demonstrate math knowledge and skills; encourage exploration, experimentation, and mistakes; help develop metacognitive and self-regulation skills; and provide timely feedback and recognition.

While the causes of anxiety vary, it is also important to know that anxiety is an actual medical diagnosis. When a teacher, caregiver, or parent notices that a student is experiencing a seemingly irrational response to learning experiences in general and specifically math; we have an ethical responsibility to observe and report what we're seeing. Indicators that a child may be experiencing anxiety may include being physically shaken, crying, or having a panic attack. There are cases that will need to be evaluated and treated with more than what a teacher or curriculum developer can do through instructional design.

4 How can UDL and scaffolding help with math misconceptions?

Math misconceptions are incorrect or incomplete understandings of math concepts or procedures that can interfere with students' learning and problem-solving in math. These misunderstandings can be caused by a variety of factors, such as gaps in prior knowledge, misleading representations, or ineffective strategies. UDL and scaffolding can be used to create a clear and coherent learning path that builds on your students' prior knowledge and connects to their real-world experiences. This helps to activate prior knowledge, provide multiple and varied representations, compare and contrast math reasoning and strategies, identify and correct misconceptions, and encourage the application and transfer of math knowledge and skills in different contexts.

5 How to implement UDL and scaffolding in math instruction?

Incorporating UDL and scaffolding into your math instruction can help you achieve your goals, depending on the content and context. To do this, you can use multiple and flexible methods to introduce, review, and reinforce math concepts and procedures. Giving students choices in how they engage, access, and express their math learning can also be beneficial. Additionally, open-ended questions, prompts, and challenges can stimulate curiosity, inquiry, and critical thinking in math. It's important to model and think aloud your math reasoning and strategies for your students to do the same. Moreover, providing scaffolds and supports that match students' needs and abilities is essential. Lastly, monitor progress and understanding in math to adjust instruction accordingly. Provide feedback and recognition that is specific, timely, and growth-oriented as well.

One strategy that is helpful in reducing math anxiety when solving word problems is to have the students ask themselves, “What do I know before solving this problem?” And, “What do I need to find out?” At times, some diverse learners get stuck thinking about the unknown. It is powerful to refocus their attention on the information provided and not the unknown yet! Modeling for students can be impactful and powerful especially when teachers equip their students with this level of confidence. This assets based approach rather than deficit based approach will be sure to reduce math anxiety when students are solving word problems.
