Universal teaching – Mathematics for grades 4-5

A practical guide to “innovate by including” the teaching of mathematics in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school in a responsible and creative way. Divided into three main sections, with introduction to the concept of universal teaching and an explanation of the reference model, transversal indications for effective and inclusive teacher planning, teaching programming divided into goals and work units for teaching the discipline in the various classes, the guide presents mathematics activities and work programmes to encourage inclusive innovation through teacher planning aimed at achieving key goals and work units capable of developing learning and participation within the class group.

The Universal teaching series
The concept of inclusion, especially in the Italian school context, is linked to the world of classroom management of pupils with Special Educational Needs or disabilities, in order to meet the specific needs of some. The universal dimension of teaching proposes an overcoming of this logic and, on the contrary, presents itself as a programmatic action to plan a meaningful, truly inclusive learning programme that is based on the characteristics of the target group.
In this view, the “Universal teaching” series offers disciplinary teaching guides that encourage inclusive innovation through planning aimed at achieving key goals and work units capable of developing learning and participation throughout the class group.
