On Cloud Nine® Math

Problem . . .
Nicole has difficulty learning math concept and computation. She cannot think with numbers. She has been labeled "dyscalculia" or as having a mathematics disorder. Despite many efforts, Nicole cannot process math concepts, "remember" math facts, or do word problems.

Cause . . .
A primary cause of math difficulties is an inability to image and verbalize the concepts underlying math processes. Individuals attempt to memorize facts instead of being able to think, reason, and problem solve with numbers.

Symptoms . . .

•Difficulty learning math facts such as multiplication tables
•Difficulty grasping mathematical relationships
•Difficulty doing word problems
•Difficulty with higher math

Solution . . .
The On Cloud Nine® Math: A Visualizing/Verbalizing Math Program developed by Kimberly Tuley and Nanci Bell, successfully stimulates the ability to image and verbalize the concepts underlying math processes. Concept and Numeral imagery are integrated with language and applied to math computation and problem solving.  There is emphasis on both mathematical reasoning and mathematical computation.  Individuals of all ages learn to do and enjoy math.
