What research supports your suggestions? How might the video and\/or the activities be augmented for children with learning issues in math? How have or can the contemporary digital technologies and\/or their websites also support these suggestions for children with learning issues (eg. Prodigy, Desmos, King of Math, Math Bingo, Reflex Math, or others).<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anchored instruction provides instruction that aid in learning by presenting problems that students can relate to or be engaged in through meaningful content like stories or short scenarios. While reading and watching the videos, I actually started to think back on the \u201cBill Nye: The Science Guy\u201d videos from when I was young, and thought back to how he used to present information in visually rich and meaning context that was easy to \u201cabsorb\u201d, though he never really gave us questions\/problems to solve, he would post questions that needed answers and would then answer them himself to us(the audience). \u00a0Anchored instruction seems quite similar to problem-based learning or inquiry-based learning pedagogies to me. The use of technology in such a learning environment seems to direct \u201cimagination\u201d in some sense by NOT having students imagine the problem. \u00a0By presenting problems in a story or scenario that students can understand showing the why,\u00a0when and how, \u00a0then asking students to come up with a solution, this method seems more focused and I can understand why it works. \u00a0I have seen many grade school students who struggle with math problems simply because they have trouble understanding the context, and so have trouble \u201cpicturing the problem\u201d. Students often read the word problems multiple times but have trouble understanding what the question is asking, and I have seen this occur in students who are Native English speakers or in ELL. \u00a0As it\u2019s the form of instruction that works, \u00a0even if videos like the Jasper series aren\u2019t used, \u00a0activities like hands-on presentations would likely yield similar results.<\/p>\n<p>This instruction method also aids in the development of crucial critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as pointed out in the readings as well, that developers incorporated that into the Jasper series and would have learning goals that \u201cemphasize the importance of helping students -all students- learn to become independent thinkers \u201c. This form of instruction can likely also support children with math learning difficulties as it aids in the presentation of conceptual knowledge in math. Hasselbring(2005) mentioned that students with math difficulties often struggle to make connections in the problems, and would often solve problems from procedural knowledge. Anchored instruction might be able to help them see the connection needed. Math Videos like the ones on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainpop.com\/math\/freemovies\/\">Brainpop<\/a>\u00a0can likely do the same, though a subscription is needed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>Hasselbring, T.
