Multisensory math

Math

• The child learned addition and subtraction concepts through hands-on activities and manipulatives.
• They practiced multiplication and division by using visual aids and group activities.
• The child learned about geometry by exploring shapes and their properties through tactile experiences.
• They developed measurement skills by actively measuring objects using non-standard units.

Science

• The child learned about the concept of volume by pouring and measuring liquids using different containers.
• They explored the properties of different materials and their interaction with water through sensory experiments.
• The child learned about the states of matter by observing and touching various substances and discussing their characteristics.
• They explored the concept of force and motion by participating in hands-on experiments with ramps and objects of different weights.

Continued development can be fostered by incorporating multisensory elements into other math and science activities. For math, encourage the use of manipulatives and visual aids to reinforce concepts. Provide opportunities for tactile exploration and measurement in real-world situations. For science, conduct more sensory experiments, encourage observation and discussion of properties, and incorporate hands-on activities to explore various scientific concepts.
