How are math, language, and dyslexia connected?


What is the Equivalent in Math of Phoneme Manipulation?

Marilyn Zecher explains in this short video “Multisensory Math Tracking: Numeracy to Algebra” (2013) how techniques used to teach multisensory structured language are applied to math. Tracking involves changing one element at a time and incrementally increasing complexity. By using manipulatives, multisensory math employs aspects of Universal Design for Learning and gives the teacher an alternative method of assessment.

Mathematics: Focus by Grade Level

“Achieve the Core offers free tools and resources to support grade-level, relevant, and joyful classroom learning.”  

Achieve the Core has been recommended often by Marilyn Zecher, MA, CALT. 

THIS DOCUMENT  from Achieve the Core shows where students and teachers should spend the large majority of their time in order to meet the expectations of the Standards.  Not all content in a given grade is emphasized equally in the Standards. Some clusters require greater emphasis than others based on the depth of the ideas, the time that they take to master, and/or their importance to future mathematics or the demands of college and career readiness. More time in these areas is also necessary for students to meet the Standards for Mathematical Practice. To say that some things have greater emphasis is not to say that anything in the Standards can safely be neglected in instruction. Neglecting material will leave gaps in student skill and understanding and may leave students unprepared for the challenges of a later grade.
