And so multi-sensory math instruction is appropriate for all students.

Every student could benefit from learning this way.

But it's essential for some.

It's essential for those kids who struggle to read, who maybe have like a low working memory issue.

Um even autistic students can benefit from it, kids with ADD.

Those kind of children really need those multi-sensory inputs into their mathematical side of their brain in order to do well in school.

Yeah, absolutely.

So I'm gonna start with something really basic.

So let's say it's two times five.

So for the concrete step, they you could use counting bears, you could use Skittles, MMs, anything like that.

And you're making either two groups of five or you're making five groups of two.

And the students read it with their hands that two times five is 10.

And so they can visually see how much that is.

What is that quantity?

But as the numbers get bigger, using a concrete method there would be really difficult, right?

If I was doing a hundred times two.

it could get really out of control fast.

And so that's where place value blocks come into play.

I if you're in a traditional school, you've seen teachers using these.

And they'll do area multiplication where the student is building down one side.
