Multisensory math: the key to keeping kids motivated
Are your students struggling to stay engaged in math lessons? Research shows that incorporating multisensory learning—engaging sight, touch, movement, and sound—can significantly boost motivation and understanding.
At Constructor Technology, we believe every child can learn math—they just need the right support. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Calcularis, our personalized math learning app, has received the Mom’s Choice Award® a trusted U.S.-based seal of excellence in family-friendly education.
Math experts recommend a multi-sensory approach to math instruction
Mathematics can feel like an unsolvable puzzle for students. Research estimates that 3–6% of the population struggles with dyscalculia, making math anxiety a common challenge. Since traditional teaching methods rely on memorization, students with dyscalculia need alternative strategies—this is where multisensory learning comes in.
The importance of balancing reading and math support programs in schools
When it comes to intervention programs in schools, reading often takes center stage. Reading intervention is widely recognized as crucial for ensuring that students develop foundational literacy skills early, setting them up for academic success. But what about math? Despite its equal importance in shaping a child's future, math intervention often takes a backseat in educational priorities—and the consequences are profound.
Math often feels overwhelming for young learners, especially when concepts remain abstract. Visualization tools, such as number lines, graphs, and manipulatives, serve as bridges between theoretical mathematical ideas and practical understanding. A teaching children mathematics study reported that students using number lines improved subtraction accuracy by 25%. Similarly, graphs make math relatable by illustrating trends and relationships.
The correlation between math and literacy challenges in kids
Research consistently shows that difficulties in literacy and numeracy often go hand in hand, sharing underlying cognitive processes such as working memory, reasoning, and comprehension. A study in the Journal of Learning Disabilities found that 60-70% of children with dyslexia also struggle with math tasks that require logical reasoning or problem-solving.
