MAKING MATH REAL
A Multisensory, Structured Program for Cognitive Development in Mathematics
 Making Math Real, the premier multisensory* structured** mathematics program, provides the most effective comprehensive professional development and support materials to supplement any math curriculum for the entire educational community. Making Math Real's mission, in providing access to best practices, is working together with teachers, administrators and families, to ensure that students receive the highest quality education possible.
*Multisensory structured methodologies deliver all instruction via the three processing modalities: visual, auditory and kinesthetic-motoric. Students who are struggling experience processing difficulties in either one or more of these processing modalities. Best instructional practices require linking all incoming information across the three channels to maximize successful processing.
**Structured curriculum means starting with the simplest elemental foundation and building developmentally in an incremental and systematic progression from the concrete to the abstract. The most powerful aspect of a multisensory structured program is that each current activity and lesson builds the essential developmental tools for success at the next level thereby reaching the full diversity of learning styles and educational needs in all classrooms.

Making Math Real builds development by in-servicing educators and parents to help students create their own mental pictures, thereby reducing reliance on memory. Students are successful because they see and understand what they are doing rather than memorize a rote procedure.
The Making Math Real Course Series provides Educators and Parents with the knowledge to:
• guide students incrementally through the concrete, semi-concrete, semi-abstract, and abstract levels
• develop higher order thinking skills in students through full synthesis of left and right hemisphere processing
• integrate concept with procedure using multisensory, hands-on, manipulatives-based activities to develop students' ability to retain what they have learned

Making Math Real is an innovative, fun, hands-on method of learning math that integrates key cognitive development such as symbol imaging, detail analysis, and sequential processing, within every lesson and activity. Students who struggle with math do not lack the intelligence or the motivation to be successful. Typically, they lack the underlying development that supports the acquisition of the basic tools to do math.
The Making Math Real professional development course series enables educators and parents to provide students with:
• authentic experiences of success that break through their preconceptions of failure
dramatically improving motivation and achievement
• intensive cognitive development for getting students off of their fingers to learn and retain their math facts
• the self confidence that they can learn
