Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach 1

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 effective for all students. It is especially effective with students who learn differently and ELL learners. The approach is effective for initial instruction as well as remedial work at all levels and is compatible with all curricula and programs. Instructors are Jennifer Scaffidi, M.Ed., CALT, Multisensory Math QI and Cindy O’Neill, M.S.D., OGA, W.D.P, Multisensory Math Practioner.
