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.
