In the 90s, it was the math wars.

And they learned that the brain learns math best when we start with the concrete.

So that's stuff we can touch.

And then we move to representational, and that's images, and then we move to the abstract, which is just numbers.

And you and I learned math mostly abstract, right?

I can't think of a time that I remember playing with manipulatives at school.

It was always just numbers on the page.

And so that's a that's part of it is we we systematically move through those and that's in line with the universal design for learning.

I don't know if you've ever heard of that.

It's called U D L.

And so these are the hallmarks of what makes the multi-sensory experience so rich.

Uh it also falls in line with you know the OG method for reading.

With a visual auditory kinesthetic.

they go together.

And so that's the framework we use at Math for Middles with students is we always start with the concrete.

Um, we mail things to our students and they work with those items in real time.

We all have the same things.

And then we move to just images for a long time and you would be amazed at my students will often do really, really well, those first two.

And then once we get to the abstract, it it gets really hard.

And so it's a really important thing.
