Multisensory Math
Hands-on Instruction and Instructional Language for Meeting the Needs of All Learners
All students benefit from using manipulative objects to explore math concepts. Learn effective methods for using manipulatives to teach math concepts as well as explicit instructional language to meet the needs of all learners. Research suggests that when manipulatives are effectively used, students experience enhanced performance and retention. This Two-Day Workshop will offer participants a chance to experience the power of a multisensory approach for teaching mathematics. Concepts from early elementary school through early algebra will be modeled with special emphasis on numeracy, place value, basic operations, multiplication & division, fractions. Strategies for problem-solving/word problems are included as well as a review of evidence-based strategies and the neuroscience supporting the approach.
This workshop is appropriate for general education teachers, resource and special education teachers, emergent bilingual teachers, and teachers who teach in an inclusion setting. The information learned can be adapted for intervention and remedial settings.
This session is open to all LEAs within Region 20.
