Multisensory Maths

Many children and adults struggle with math.

Teaching multisensory math techniques as well as incorporating multisensory math activities into lesson plans is not only best practice for students but assists all learners.

Multisensory maths involves an interactive and hands-on approach. Sessions include the teaching of basic number facts and operations of mathematics. This approach provides learning experiences which move from the concrete to representational to abstract.

Concrete

Students use a variety of concrete materials

Representational

Students draw and use diagrams

Abstract

Students use numbers and mathematical symbols

Math-U-See

One of the programs we offer is Math-U-See. This is an effective, hands-on multisensory way to learn maths. The program follows sequential levels in which students work through at their own pace.

Watch your child maths confidence grow as they progress through the Math-U-See levels.

ORIGO Education – Stepping Stones Program

This program brings the conceptual understanding of mathematics to the forefront of teaching and learning. It’s instructional approach builds on students’ natural ability to develop understanding and number sense. It helps students avoid misconceptions and promotes confidence with efficient thinking strategies. Games and practical applications help to cement the concepts and skills.

Mathematics involves the use of symbols, and a major goal of a program is to prepare students to read, write, and interpret these symbols.

ORIGO Stepping Stones introduces symbols gradually after students have had many meaningful experiences with a model ranging from real objects, classroom materials, and 2D pictures. Symbols are also abstract representations of verbal words, so students move through distinct language stages. This approach serves to build a deeper understanding of the concepts underlying abstract symbols. In this way, Stepping Stones better equips students with the confidence and ability to apply mathematics in new and unfamiliar situations.

ORIGO Education believes that students master skills over time as they engage in four distinctly different types of activities.

Testimonials

It is with great pleasure that we write this testimonial about Bright Smiles Multisensory Learning Centre. We feel so fortunate to have found Gabby to assist our daughter with her learning. After years of struggling with reading and spelling, Gabby’s multisensory learning strategies have resulted in her making amazing progress in the few months that she has been seeing her. Her teachers have commented on the improvements that they have seen. Her improvements have also given her more confidence and she has developed a greater love of reading and is so happy that she can now read books that she enjoys independently. Gabby has a wonderful way of relating to her students and motivating them to learn. My daughter is always eager to learn and looks forward to seeing Gabby each week.

We started going to see Gabby midway through last year. In just a short period of time both spelling and vocabulary improved and a better understanding of the principles in maths that were previously found confusing. Our household refers to Gabby as the secret weapon. The boost in confidence and willingness to learn has by far been the best reward.
