Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math Training, Level 1

Marilyn Zecher developed her renowned Multisensory Math methodology based on the Orton-Gillingham philosophy and methodology of teaching and evidence-based strategies recommended by the What Works Clearinghouse, the NCTM, and evidence from neuroscience.

This approach is especially effective with students who learn differently, inclusion classes, and ESL learners. The approach is effective for initial instruction, intervention, inclusion classes as well as remedial work at all levels. It is compatible with and can be used to support most curricula and programs.

Topics will include:

• Applying this methodology in guiding students from foundation skills and numeracy to place value, operations, fractions, and decimals.
• Using manipulatives effectively to reinforce concepts, aid memory, and enhance performance for all students.
• Using strategies for helping students learn and retrieve math facts as well as structured procedures for computational accuracy.
• Understanding neuroscience findings about how math is processed in the brain, which cognitive processes impact math, and the best way to capitalize on these discoveries in our teaching.
