Executive Functioning
The Impact of an Executive Function Learning Disability in Mathematics
Reflecting
Consider data collected (e.g. search for relevant primary and secondary data)
Reflect on new skills, concepts, and questions to see how they connect to prior knowledge (e.g.examine questions and demonstrate flexibility in choice of strategy)
Self-monitor progress while problem solving and revise, as necessary
Selecting Tools and Computational Strategies
Select and use an appropriate tool appropriately
Use technology (e.g., graphing calculators, GSP® , Fathom®) to explore, gather, display, manipulate, and present data in a variety of ways
Problem Solving
Select and apply a problem-solving strategy (e.g. create a mathematical model, draw a diagram or picture, make a simpler but similar problem)
Check that data being gathered is appropriate to the inquiry at hand
Search the Internet for secondary data
Understand the problem
Communicating
Present thinking and arguments in a logical and organized manner
Respond to instructions orally, in writing, and visually, as appropriate, e.g., explain, discuss, describe, justify, compare, suggest, write, tell, read, share, demonstrate, present
Interpret and summarize information from charts and graphs, providing appropriate detail, e.g.,describe patterns and contrasts
Communicate mathematical learning by combining various representations, e.g., words with diagrams, charts or graphs with verbal descriptions
Connecting
Apply mathematics to contexts outside of mathematics
Representing
Select an appropriate representation and defend their choice (e.g. physical / concrete / manipulative, graphical organizers (e.g., Venn diagram, T-chart, concept map), equation/algebraic expression/formula)
Other
Begin and stay focused on a task,
Organize notebook, notes, handouts, etc.
Time management
Transition between activities / tasks
What is Executive Functioning?
cognitive flexibility (e.g. ability to change one’s problem solving strategy)
mental processes that draw on past experiences in order to successfully complete a task
planning, organizing, strategizing, focusing attention, self-monitoring, self-regulating, and managing time and space
