Making Math Real Multi-sensory techniques for long-term retention of math
MLP is highly proficient in teaching math, from addition through algebra. Our favorite teaching methodology is Making Math Real (MMR), a multi-sensory approach that enables learners to deepen conceptual understanding and build working memory. For older learners, MLP focuses on techniques that improve procedural skills and detail analysis.

By the time a child is 12 years old, she or he will understand about 50,000 words.
Vocabulary is the basis for language learning. Reading, reading comprehension, and writing are not possible without vocabulary development.
To help students build a broad vocabulary, Bert uses Structured Word Inquiry (SWI), from the Nueva School Institute. SWI is an investigation of words, word parts, structure, meaning, connection, and spelling.
​
For reading and writing, Bert employs Lindamood-Bell's Visualizing and Verbalizing, a teaching methodology that uses concept imagery to improve reading and listening comprehension, memory, oral language expression, critical thinking, and writing.
