The Multisensory Math
Curriculum is a structured system of teaching math using manipulatives.
Manipulatives provide concrete ways to help students understand mathematical
concepts. Students relate abstract ideas about numbers and shapes to something
they can actually see and feel. This makes mathematical ideas easier to
internalize, and often allows the student to solve problems they might not be
able to solve otherwise. In this curriculum all three channels of learning are
used: seeing, hearing, and feeling. This type of approach allows a student
stronger senses to support and strengthen its weaker senses.
There
are six levels in this curriculum:
Level 1 Counting and Numeration
Level 2 Addition and Subtraction
Level 3 Multiplication and Division
Level 4 Fractions
Level 5 Decimals and Percentage
Level 6 Intermediate Algebra.
