Reviews of this workshop

*

"This has been fantastic! I love the prepared lessons. I don't have any other feedback other than I want to keep going with this... It's much easier for me to tutor them with this activity based math vs. taking them to someone else." 

*

"Having the lesson plans laid out for me saved me hours and hours of reading and planning and possibly going in the wrong direction if I were to tackle it on my own." 

*

"I truly appreciate your lessons. It’s really helped my confidence."

*

“I am finally doing something to help my kid with their learning difference, starting with the foundation to have a true understanding is really great."

Number-Sense Support

for parents and educators

Build number-sense skills with simple lessons and activities for home or the classroom!

Plus you will learn so much about your student’s experience as a dyscalculic learner, and be better equipped to advocate for what they need in school.

Who is this for? Parents and educators working with a dyscalculic student who would like personalized support and help with lessons and games to help their student develop a better understanding of number. The target age of students is 5-12 years old. (Contact me if your student is older to discuss options.) Requires no teaching experience.

How does this work? We will meet weekly, beginning with an introduction class and continuing with six weeks of Lesson Plans. Each week, you will receive a printable PDF lesson plan with games and activities to do with your student 3-5 times that week. Parents and educators will meet weekly with me on Zoom for 1 hour, where I will walk you through each lesson, answer any questions, and check in on how the lessons are going. You will repeat the lesson and activities with your student for about 20-30 minutes each day, for 3-5 days with your student.

What materials will we be using? Our main guide in this unit will be Ronit Bird’s book, Exploring Numbers through Dot Patterns. We will cover foundational math concepts dyscalculics don't innately understand - critical concepts that keep them from grasping grade level math. We will explore some of these foundational numeracy concepts in a multi-sensory and engaging way such as: specific visuals for number 1-10, how numbers are inside other numbers, what makes a number even/odd, regrouping quantities, ways to make 10, quantity, exchange, plus and minus one, double and half, key facts.

What supplies will I need? You will need some basic learning materials such as dice, counters, cards, and access to a printer for gameboards and lessons. (You will also need to purchase Ronit Bird’s ebook, Exploring Numbers Through Dot Patterns, about $12).

What is included:

• Six printable step-by-step lesson plans including games and activities. Each weekly lesson or activity should be repeated in 3-5 sessions during that week. This gives you 18-30 individual math intervention sessions planned for you.

• Group coaching with me in weekly live Zoom calls, 1 hour each. Ask questions, check in on how lessons are going with your student. Troubleshoot any sticking points.

• Call replays will be available for a limited time (only during the duration of the workshop) for those who can’t make the live call.
