with Marilyn Zecher, M.A.
This session begins in
Marilyn Zecher explores evidence-based strategies for inclusive mathematics instruction, demonstrating how to make content accessible to all learners through hands-on EXPERIENCES while building deep conceptual UNDERSTANDING through methods that CONNECT mathematical concepts across grade levels and ensure EQUITABLE ACCESS for students with diverse learning needs.
I’ve made it easy for you to take the information and inspiration from the virtual math summit sessions and implement it into your classroom so that you can start to become a Recovering Traditionalist. Capture all the amazing ideas, take notes and plan what the next steps are that you’ll put in place in your classroom with your Virtual Math Summit Workbook. If you registered for the VMS Summit you already received this resource via email. If you are watching this session and have not registered, do so now and get the Summit Workbook.
At the END of the Virtual Math Summit, we will email summit registrants a link to a Certificate Request form. We do this so that your sessions can be consolidated into one certificate. If you are watching this session but never registered for the Virtual Math Summit and you want a certificate and the VMS Workbook, click the button below to register and ensure you receive the emails about certificates.
Marilyn Zecher is the instructor of two graduate level methods courses in Multisensory Math. She is a frequent speaker at conferences which focus on meeting the needs of unique learners such as students with language-based learning deficits like dyslexia and related disabilities, but also students with other language challenges such as second language learners and students with hearing impairments. She is a former public-school classroom and demonstration teacher who has spent more than two decades developing a multisensory approach aimed at meeting the needs of all learners in a variety of settings: general education and inclusion classes, small group and individual instruction as well as dedicated special education classrooms. Her strategies are used by both public and independent schools to help students “catch up to keep up.” Her goal is to develop math instructional strategies which aid visualization and internalization of math concepts to promote memory, independent reasoning and growth. She bases her work on recommendations from the Institute for Educational Science, findings from neuroscience, best practices in mathematics and traditional multisensory methods which are linked to evidence of efficacy. Her belief is that initially modeling math concepts with manipulative objects paired with concise mathematically accurate language provides a foundation for student success, engagement, confidence and joyful interaction with math content.

Inside the BMM Professional Development Site you will find professional development training at your fingertips. Training that will help you understand the elementary mathematical concepts and teaching pedagogy that will help you build your student's math minds. You'll also find...
The BMM site focuses on building Content, Community, and Your Confidence.
Build Math Minds is designed to build your Content Knowledge, your Confidence in teaching math, and give you a Community of like-minded educators that understand what you are going through as you try to build math-thinkers, not calculators. With years of Virtual Math Summit trainings (since 2017) you will learn from experts including Robert Kaplinsky, Berkeley Everett, Mike Flynn, Dr. Nicki Newton, Pamela Harris, Catherine Fosnot, Graham Fletcher, Dr. Douglas Clements, Rosalba Serrano, and soooooo many more!
By registering for the 2025 Virtual Math Summit you agree to receive information and offers from Build Math Minds. You will be able to adjust your email preferences but all VMS communication will arrive through email. Only enter your SMS number if you want text reminders. Because some school districts prohibit a variety of "outside" email, our email may not arrive in your inbox. If you do not receive a confirmation email from us, please contact us at info@buildmathminds.com or consider using a personal email address. *If you have already registered for the summit you do NOT need to submit this form as you are already on the list to get the link to request the certificate and the workbook should have already been emailed to you.
