In 250-500 words, summarize the recommended instructional strategies, rationalizing the appropriateness to Maria’s goals
Case Study: Maria is 14 years old in the 9th grade
It is the beginning of the second semester, and Maria is having a great deal of difficulty in her algebra class. She has an understanding of the basic concepts of algebra but has not mastered the skills needed to move to the higher-level concepts her class is now working on. Currently, her math performance level is two years below grade level and her reading performance level is one year below grade level. Maria’s teacher has spoken with her parents about the possible need for additional support, and her parents have agreed to help at home.
They have identified the following goals for Maria:
Simplify addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations (e.g., (2x + 6) (4x + 7) = 6x + 13).
Solve expressions with variables (e.g., 3x = -24).
Write and solve the algebra equation in a real-life word problem.
Part One: Strategies
Research instructional strategies applicable to meeting Maria’s needs established through her identified goals. Include a reference page.
Instructional strategies should include:
Explicitly teaching vocabulary
Concrete-representational-abstract method
Graphic organizers
Mnemonic devices
The use of assistive technology
In 250-500 words, summarize the recommended instructional strategies, rationalizing the appropriateness to Maria’s goals, appropriateness in motivating Maria to meet her goals, and specific tips for implementation

……………….Answer preview……………….
The concrete representational abstract (CRA) is a teacher based activity strategy where the teacher uses pictorial to represent unknowns and aids to represent arithmetic processes. The strategy will provide Maria with a structured way to simplifying equations by learning the concepts, procedures, and computations that are important…………….
