Teaching Math to Students with Dyslexia & Other Learning Differences: Practical Applications
In this presentation, we will focus on practical strategies and tools that educators can use to support students with dyslexia and other learning differences in the math classroom. Participants will discover multisensory math techniques and strategies for creating a clutter-free, focused learning environment, learn how to use games and low-stakes activities to build math fact fluency and maintain student engagement, and gain practical tips for pacing instruction and using visual supports to aid students with various learning differences. By the end of this session, educators will be equipped with actionable insights and tools to create an inclusive and effective math learning environment for all students.
