Multisensory Math with Marilyn Zecker

Many students experience difficulty mastering the concepts and skills around multiplication and division. Not only mastering fact fluency can be a challenge but mastering the directionality and sequence of the operations can cause stress and anxiety. Students really need to understand the underlying concepts and be able to reason mathematically. These skills are important for success in higher level math. Strategies which utilize excessive language may work for some but they also fail many. We also know that skip counting is inefficient and does not teach multiplication facts. This webinar will offer multiple strategies for supporting students with special needs as they seek to master these topics and skills in a humane and reliable manner. We will explore evidence based strategies for addressing these strategies using multiple avenues including the use of manipulatives to illustrate the concepts themselves. Join us for an evening of hands-on instruction and practice.
