Availability: InStock

This CEU course explores how foundational math skills can be effectively taught and assessed using the principles of behavior analysis. Participants will learn to conceptualize math computation as a behavioral operant and apply the instructional hierarchy to tailor math instruction. Emphasis is placed on using data to guide intervention decisions, measuring skill fluency through rate-based metrics, and distinguishing between skill and performance deficits. Real-world case examples and evidence-based instructional methods—such as Cover-Copy-Compare and Explicit Timing—are used to illustrate how behavior analytic strategies can improve math outcomes for learners.

This course provides 2 CEU credits for BACB, QABA, and IBAO.

BACB CEUs	2 Credits

Learning Objectives

Define basic math computation skills as behavioral operants and explain how antecedents, responses, and consequences influence their acquisition.
Describe an appropriate scope and sequence for teaching math skills, aligned with both behavioral principles and academic standards.
Select and apply rate-based and curriculum-based measurement tools to assess student performance and monitor progress in math computation.
Utilize the instructional hierarchy (acquisition, fluency, generalization, adaptation) to guide the selection and modification of effective, individualized instructional strategies.
