Take a deep breath and relax… you are in the right place.

Based on my 10+ years of experience in K-8 math and special education, I strongly believe the reason so many students are struggling with math is because the methods we have traditionally used are misaligned with how the brain actually learns.

Research in the science of math shows that we have an innate ability to subitize, or see small quantities and just know how many there are without counting. This visual ability is housed in the right hemisphere of the brain, while language and symbolic representations are housed in the left hemisphere.

Methods used successfully for decades in teaching students with dyscalculia demonstrate that strengthening this subitizing ability is at the heart of what is needed to develop number sense and further mathematical skills. 

Yet most math curriculums are missing the mark! They focus on visual representations that emphasize counting, rather than subitizing, along with a heavy load of language and symbolic forms that do not yet have meaning to students.

Decoding Math

Decoding Math is our signature teacher training program. It begins with laying groundwork in the science of math, dyscalculia, and math learning disabilities, then moves into effective instructional approaches, tools, and methodology for developing number sense, teaching addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, and fractions. The training concludes with a deep dive into math assessments, planning math interventions, and writing the math-related components of IEPs.

Decoding Math + Live

Decoding Math + Live starts with the self-paced, online Decoding Math course and adds monthly “live” online classes via Zoom where we will discuss, ask questions, and practice implementing what we’re learning as we work with students throughout the school year. Join Math & Special Education Coach Becky Lord for an online community of support and receive the guidance and resources you need! 

Course is eligible for 3 graduate credits

Mathemagical Membership

Mathemagical Membership is an annual or monthly subscription designed to take the next step beyond Decoding Math and provide math educators with the continuous training, comprehensive support, and valuable resources they need to provide effective math instruction and interventions. Let’s do this important work together!

Navigating Number Stories

Navigating Number Stories is an online course designed to equip educators with research-based strategies and resources for solving word problems. Learn about two highly research-based practices: explicit schema-based instruction and attack strategies. Together these approaches are proven to be powerful for student success in understanding and applying word problem structures. Finally feel confident about teaching word problems!
