Functional Skills: 2-D Shapes 1

Multisensory learning for learners of all ages.

Multisensory instruction uses multiple sensory pathways to enhance learning. This usually means that activities include visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), kinaesthetic (moving), and tactile (touching) elements.

Multisensory techniques make abstract concepts and their relationship with the outside world, concrete and therefore easier to understand.

Multisensory learning can help those who have difficulty with maths and/or dyscalculia. Using all of the senses when learning what numbers and symbols represent can help us to remember and use this new information.

Always follow the instructions and use the Talking Text button to ensure learning is taking place and to make sure that skills learnt, remain learnt. These become the foundations for future learning.
