100 Powerful Learning Specialist and Educational Therapy Materials

This week I wanted to tell you about my online store, Good Sensory Learning. I’m Dr. Erica Warren, and I established this site so I could share all the materials that I have created over the last 20+ years as a learning specialist and educational therapist. When I first began my private practice, Learning to Learn, I had great difficulty finding fun and multisensory materials for my students that were effective and engaging. So back in 2005, I made it my mission to design and distribute high-end, remedial products as well as memorable, motivating lessons that bring delight to learning.

26 Awesome and Fun Math Ideas for Struggling Students

fun math lessons
With the summer vacation just around the corner, it will be important to implement some mathematics over the break to avoid the "summer slide." The "summer slide" is a term used to describe the loss of academic skills and knowledge over the course of the summer holiday.  In fact, young learners can lose from 2-6 months of instruction.

How Do We Entice Young Math Learners to Keep Their Skills Sharp?
When I work with students over the summer months, the key to my success is to integrate fun activities and games into all of my lessons.  I not only want to maintain each student's current knowledge, but the summertime is a wonderful opportunity to review concepts students that may have missed or preview topics to get them ahead.  Here are a few simple options that can get you up and running:
  1. Create a fun and creative math manual that implements memory strategies.
  2. Use online math tools, sites, and apps such as Nessy Numbers, and Math Playground.
  3. Use the free math site, Khan Academy, for outstanding lessons, activities and more.
  4. Use coloring activities that integrate math concepts such as coloring shapes and basic addition and subtraction.
  5. Get dot to dot activities that help young students develop their sequential skills.
  6. Develop math reasoning with sudoku activities.
  7. Make the learning or review process fun by associating math activities with pleasantries such as favorite foods or a special math nook with comfortable pillows.  
  8. Use my multisensory math lessons, activities and games: 
    1. Fractions are Fun Animated PP Lesson and PDF Activities download
    2. Fraction Games Hockey, Golf, Bowling, Shuffleboard & Stair Toss Download
    3. Monster Long Multiplication Multiplication Digital Download
