We can use iPod Touches to…
• Support students mastery of numeracy, facts,
computation, geometry, and measurement tasks.
(National Math Panel Report and Common Core State Standards)
• Target student needs. Provide fact practice. Help
students connect their effort to progress. (National
Math Panel and Response to Intervention Reports)
• Enhance our professional knowledge of math (and
science) programs, pedagogy, research, resources,
and movements.

15. Discussion
Alignment with standards and following a district
scope & sequence help us ensure equitable
instruction and access for all students.
What is the value of individualizing some math
instruction?
