People often say that mathematics is a universal language. It is the essence of cognition – thinking with numbers, imagery, and language. For the people who understand mathematics, the language of numbers turns into imagery, letting them calculate and verify mathematics while seeing its logic. Through multisensory instruction, I integrate all of the senses to help create a mathematical picture of concepts and theories, forming the foundation of understanding.

Math literacy means having the mechanics and skills to perform calculations without looking them up and knowing what situations these skills may be appropriate. The true “math literate” is not someone who can successfully complete a test on recently acquired processes and techniques, but one who can apply those abilities to situations that occur in a variety of situations in the long term.
