Foundational Mathematics for Diverse Learners

To develop essential mathematical skills in students with learning disabilities through structured, hands-on, and visual learning strategies that emphasize understanding over memorization.

This course is tailored for students who need additional support in grasping basic mathematical concepts. It emphasizes concrete-to-abstract learning, repetition, and real-life application. Students will engage with numbers, shapes, and measurements through manipulatives, visual aids, and interactive activities that promote retention and confidence.
