When carrying out any of the following teaching activities it will be necessary to use different levels of support as indicated in the guidelines table at the beginning of Number. Fade this support as the student works towards developing independence.

 

There are a variety of acceptable ways a student can indicate a choice or make a response. These include; head/physical movements (e.g. nodding, pointing and reaching) eye gaze and verbal responses.

 

Students look at a clock when directed by the teacher

Whilst some students may not have an understanding of a passage of time, the aim of this teaching activity is to teach students that clocks (analogue or digital) are related to time, routines and activities within a school day.

 

The teaching activities for this goal are embedded throughout the day and teachers are to utilise every opportunity.  Whenever there is a change in an activity, teachers need to direct students to look at the visual timetable followed by the clock. Teacher states ‘Look at the timetable. Morning circle has finished. It’s time for …….  Look at the clock. It is time for ……..’.
