Multisensory Math 1

Multisensory Math is a concept-centered approach to teaching mathematics to all students learning in a standards-based curriculum. It is not a program but an approach to teaching mathematics in which the Concrete-Representation-Abstract instructional sequence provides a rich and engaging learning experience for all students. It adapts for use with any curriculum grounded in the Common Core or similar state standards seeking to teach students concepts and skills that are developmentally appropriate, mathematically sound and conceptually based. Effective for public/private school and homeschool teachers.

The course is delivered over five full days in an interactive environment. Participants participate in lectures, group work with manipulative objects and peer practice. Each participant will receive a resource manual and a basic manipulative kit with recommendations for practice using the CRA instructional sequence in the general education or inclusive classroom, intervention, or special needs classroom setting or individual educational therapy. Throughout the course, linkages to pre-algebra, algebra, and higher math will be presented so that participants see the connections from foundation skills and concepts to higher math applications.
