Multisensory Math Professional Development

Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Approach  Overview (Presented by Julie Eden & Cindy O'Neill, Certified Multisensory Math Coaches)

The Winter Multisensory Math Overview will introduce educators to innovative techniques for teaching mathematics in a hands-on, multisensory way. Participants will learn tangible strategies to make math more accessible for diverse learners. Participants should attend both dates – February 1, 2025 and February 8, 2025

The Multisensory Math Approach created by Marilyn Zecher M.A. CALT is unique. The program uses evidence based strategies and are conceptually focused with a heavy emphasis on initial concrete and hands-on instruction. It is the emphasis on explicit instructional language that sets this approach apart, making math accessible to all students. Multisensory in the Orton-Gillingham tradition, its’ CRA instruction methods are adaptable to any curriculum, textbook, or program.

Utilizing a different way of thinking about teaching math concepts, Multisensory Math demonstrates an effective model of instruction for both inclusive classrooms and individuals. It works for initial introductions or filling the gaps for students who are “instructional casualties” of predominantly
procedural instruction. This multisensory approach is not simply based on manipulatives but focuses on instructional language as the key to unlocking mathematics for all learners.
