This workshop is an intensive 3-Day overview workshop of the general research, rationale, and principles of Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach™.  It is a substantial introduction to the approach and approximately 18 hours of the 30-hour graduate-level course, which has been offered online and at universities. It builds on the multisensory tradition and uses Orton-Gillingham instructional strategies, which are supported by evidence from the What Works Clearinghouse, recommendations from the NCTM, neuroscience, and best practices in Mathematics Education.  It includes evidence-based strategies we use to meet the needs of all students, not just those with special needs. It is designed for use in inclusion classrooms, small group instruction, one-on-one tutoring, or in homeschool classrooms. Its focus is on the core foundational concepts, the Big Ideas in math, providing a firm foundation, or providing intervention to help students catch up to keep up.

This workshop/course is unique in that it includes additional content not normally included in shorter workshops.  It includes a segment on helping students with word problems, a segment on the multisensory lesson plan, and strategies for intervention.
