    Multisensory Math 1 Online

    Instructor: Marilyn Zecher

    Based on the Orton-Gillingham philosophy of teaching, Marilyn Zecher's Multisensory Mathematics I applies the research-based Concrete-Representation-Abstract (CRA) approach to teaching mathematics as advocated by the National Math Panel and the NCTM. Participants learn to apply this methodology in guiding students from foundation skills and numeracy to place value, operations, fractions and decimals. Participants learn to use manipulatives effectively to reinforce concepts, aid memory and enhance performance for all students. Strategies for helping students learn and retrieve math facts are stressed as well as structured procedures for computational accuracy. This approach is especially effective with students who learn differently, inclusion classes and ESL learners. The approach is effective for initial instruction as well as remedial work at all levels and is compatible with all curricula and programs.

    Program Dates:
    January 10-April 11, 2025

    With two 90 minute online sessions  with instructors - evening and weekend options available. Scheduling of online sessions will occur after the start of the class.

    You will receive instructions to login to the course on the first day of the course. 

    You will receive your math manual  by the first day of the class. Please provide a SECURE mailing address for delivery of your math manual.

    Refund Policy

    Courses: 50% if withdrawal is at least ten working days before the start of class. No refunds are available less than 10 days prior to the start of class.

    Getting Ready for Middle School –  Rising 5  (depending on pre-assessment) and 6th Grade Students

    This summer review program is appropriate for students who have language based and/or related disabilities who have significant gaps in their skills and conceptual foundations. We will cover basic numeracy and place value concepts with a focus on fractions as they relate to whole numbers. We will explore the concepts surrounding multiplication and division but we will not drill math facts for rote memory.  Rather we will explore patterns which aid reasoning and memory in a more humane way of addressing these deficits common to students with language-based disabilities.  We will stress the long division algorithm, and multidigit arithmetic which form the core of middle school math.  Our final week will be devoted to fraction and decimal concepts. Students must commit to attending all three weeks of the program and no exceptions will be allowed.  Students must be able to function in a group as well as independently with instructor support.
