It's about the TEACHING, not the program. You, the educator, are the key to the student’s success.

Making Math Real is a professional development institute for parents and educators providing up to 320 hours of seminar covering multisensory structured K-12 content in mathematics.  Our institute is presented in association with both University of California Berkeley and Santa Cruz Extensions, providing academic units for all courses.  Since the Making Math Real multisensory structured methodologies are so extremely intensive, systematic, and original, we are referred to as “Math Slingerland” and “Math O-G.”  Therefore, our Institute requires a two-day “Making Math Real: Overview” course to help parents and educators understand the research basis and pedagogical foundations of the methods to maximize the educational benefit and to ensure their complete understanding of this new structure, and not to merely return to status quo practices.  In addition, the Overview course is designed for all parents and teachers K-12, and would be valuable for all teachers, both public and non-public.
