The following are examples of accommodations that might pertain to our case study.

__**Accommodations**__
 * pre-teaching - Canadian money
 * giving information orally from peer
 * use of Tamil/English dictionary
 * highlight and discuss orally key vocabulary (tenths vs. tens, hundredths vs. hundreds, loonie, quarter, dime, nickel, penny)
 * allowing Ambigeswari to respond orally or show her work using manipulatives - another student or EA can write down her thinking, or the teacher can record whether or not she is on-track
 * extended time to work with group (using anecdotal evaluation as opposed to test score, or number of right and wrong answers)
 * using graphic organizers and manipulatives (charts with money amounts on the top, and paper copies of Canadian money that she can glue onto her paper)
 * chart of Canadian money vs. Sri Lankan money as a basis for reference
 * visual aids (pictures of items being shown in warm-up for later reference - use food items from grocery store that her parents might go to, items they might buy with price tags from store)
 * use of calculator to check answers and add up money amounts and decimal numbers
 * extra time to complete work and/or assessments


 * __Modifications__**
 * change curriculum expectation from "thousandths" to "hundredths" (when dealing with decimal numbers)
