Number of activities: 4 adapted exercises including image observation, quantity comparison, letter identification, and visual solving of simple expressions.
Target audience:
Students with difficulties in reading, abstraction, and mathematical interpretation. Designed for Middle School (6th–9th grades), High School, and AEE support programs. Also recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), Autism (ASD), ADHD, Dyslexia, Down Syndrome, Apraxia, and those in the process of mathematical literacy development.
Format:
Color printable PDF, featuring illustrations of objects (bicycles, fruits, balls), simple instructions, clear visual organization, and an answer key included.
Objective:
To support the initial understanding of algebraic expressions, showing that letters can represent quantities and helping students relate mathematical symbols to real images, reducing abstraction and strengthening basic algebraic thinking.
Content:
Topics: Letters as variables; numerical value; visual expressions; equivalence between quantity and symbol.
Methodology: Visual activities comparing images and letters, counting objects, and performing small operations represented by pictures.
Exercises: Identifying the letter that corresponds to a quantity, understanding that “y = 3” means three objects, comparing quantities using “x,” and solving “y + 1” with visual support.
✅ Simple, fully visual language — ideal for neurodivergent students.
✅ Introduces algebra without abstract formulas — everything is shown through images.
✅ Short activities that promote focus and independence.
✅ Suitable for regular classrooms and AEE using real objects, cards, and visual figures.
✅ Saves up to 2h05min of teacher preparation time.
