O-G Multisensory Math Workshop

The Enchantment of Having the Right Answer and Knowing It.

The Hands-on Math session introduces participants to a multi-sensory approach to achieving Learning mathematics is a constructive rather than a passive activity. A bridge is created from the concrete level (the manipulatives), to the representational level (drawings), to the abstract level (numbers and mathematical equations).


For some students, mathematics is a road traveled in small steps.

A successful multisensory approach must lead the student through small increments of understanding toward unifying themes in mathematics. Student’s strengths and needs must be recognized and addressed with built-in "checks for error," as well as a built-in system for building confidence and competence.
