And so typically you see this popping up third grade, they're really struggling to remember even just basic addition math facts to
multiplication once and that's a big deficit because the brain's spending all this time trying to remember because we don't really allow students to use calculators or anything like that in younger grades.
And so they're using all this mental bandwidth
And then when the teacher is trying to teach something new, they're spending time trying to remember what six times eight is over what new information is coming into apply.
And another thing that happens too is teachers tend to teach the way they saw being taught.
Um
Even with the with the implementation of Common Core, which is way more in line with what multisensory math is, unless teachers have full buy-in, they're not using math manipulatives like they should, which is the concrete part.
to give those students a better number sense.
They need that sensory input to understand place value.
Um, you know, how much a quantity really is, to understand what a thousand is, what a million looks like.
They don't know.
And so it it really inhibits them to move forward.
And then if for another example, if we have a student who struggles with executive function skills, um, keeping track of all of the steps for doing long division, that's really hard for them.
It it's abstract, it's confusing.
They're not keeping track of the steps and they get them all confused and it causes a lot of errors.
And so teachers are moving at a quicker pace and spending time in abstract and then our system's broken.
Those are kind of the three things that are at play here that cause so many problems down the line.
Absolutely.
So during the 90s, they were doing a lot of research about how the brain learns math.
So in the 80s it was, you know, the reading wars.
