About this Training
Particularly for students with dyscalculia, maths anxiety and learning differences, maths must be taught using hands-on materials and a sequential framework. In our abstract world of teaching mathematical procedures that merely must be memorised, understanding Counting, Place Value, Addition, Subtraction and Time are critical concepts that many students fail to comprehend. We have all seen that if mastery of these basic concepts continue to evade a student, this shortcoming affects their confidence not only for assessments and exams, but for everyday life applications, as well as future study options and life career choices.
Using specialised Integer Block Kits, in this training you will master how to teach the following easily and effortlessly so that any student can understand these foundational concepts, and so that you as the teacher have full confidence in using these hands-on manipulative tools to explicitly and accurately teach counting, place value, addition, subtraction, time and beyond...
Exclusive access to this knowledge is through a self-directed course with 'live' online monthly group Implementation Sessions through the zoom platform. This model will ensure you achieve understanding and mastery before progressing, and will also provide you with an opportunity to have any questions answered in regards to implementation within your classroom, small groups or one-on-one setting.

1. Introduction to the Pedagogy of Multisensory Maths Instruction
2. 'I-CRAVE Maths' Methodology, Sequential Instruction & the Language Of Maths 3. Counting

This self-directed online course includes monthly Q&A sessions with Maths Australia's leading multi-sensory maths and intervention specialist, Esther White.
Manipulatives Included
Participants to this training will receive a CRA Maths Multi-Sensory Integer Block Kit* for engagement and experiential learning. This Kit is also included when you enrol in our 'Total Maths Mastery'.
The CRA Maths Multi-Sensory Integer Block Kit is our main teaching tool for all number and algebra related to whole numbers. By using these hands-on manipulatives, your student is able to bridge the gap from concrete understanding > to graphic representation > to abstract application and mastery of counting, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The Kit's additional features and improvements in size (now compatible with popular building blocks such as lego*), quality and presentation make this the most highly recommended in the current marketplace for integer-based base ten blocks.
This Integer Block Kit comes with our NEW Integer Block Booklet and Demonstration Video sent to you via email.
Note: If you already have an Integer Block Kit available, this may be swapped for the same price, with a Teacher Magnetic Block Kit for whiteboard use.
You'll also receive a set of CRA Maths Colour-coded pencils
These pencils are specifically colour matched to the Integer Block colours, making it easy for you - and your student - to learn to identify each number as it is taught. They are a great tool for the representation component of the student drawing what they've built. Fun, easy and applicable!
Course Structure
Once enrolled, you are provided with access to your own dashboard and access to your chosen self-directed course for a twelve (12) month time-frame. These lessons are unlocked sequentially to support your own learning journey. We invite you, and recommend your attendance at our monthly 'live' online group Implementation Sessions through the Zoom platform.
This model will ensure you achieve understanding and mastery before progressing, and will also provide you with an opportunity to have any questions answered in regards to implementation within your classroom, small groups or one-on-one setting.
