Middle Division Multisensory Math

Our Middle Division Math classes incorporate the multisensory math approach in ways that are designed to help every student succeed. We are guided by the Georgia Standards of Excellence while using hands-on, engaging techniques that make math concepts easier to understand and remember. Traditional math instruction is combined with multisensory activities using manipulatives like blocks or counters, drawing visual models, or using physical movement to reinforce concepts. These varied approaches allow different types of learners to grasp mathematical ideas in ways that work best for them. Teachers assess where each student is and work to fill in any gaps in foundational skills—like number sense, basic operations, or fractions—while continuing to teach grade-level content. This dual approach ensures students build confidence with the basics while staying challenged and engaged with new concepts. 

Scaffolded supports are implemented to differentiate individual learning needs, systematically reducing these supports as students demonstrate mastery. This gradual release model ensures students work within their optimal learning zone—where content is appropriately challenging yet achievable.

The goal is to create a supportive learning environment where every student can develop strong mathematical understanding and problem-solving skills. Daily routines form the foundation of our instructional approach.  A key component of the program is developing student metacognition and self-advocacy. We guide students in identifying their mathematical strengths and areas for growth while empowering them to articulate their needs and seek support with confidence and independence.
