Multisensory Approaches to Teaching Math

As William Glasser, world-renowned psychiatrist and theorist, stated, individuals learn 10 percent of what they read, 20 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they see, 50 percent of what they see and hear, 70 percent of what they discuss, 80 percent of what they experience, and 95 percent of what they teach others. Dr. Glasser emphasized the importance of using all the senses in education. Multisensory approaches lead to better attention to task, greater recall of information, and deeper understanding of concepts.
