2 Full-Day Workshop

Seminar: LINDAMOOD-BELL SERIES WORKSHOP

On Cloud Nine^® Math

Visualizing and Verbalizing^® for Math
Level 1 – Introductory Workshop

This course explores the sensory-cognitive processes necessary for mathematical reasoning and computation. Class members will learn the role of dual coding with imagery and language as applied to mathematical processing. Class members learn to develop and apply concept and numeral imagery for all ages of students. This course will focus on the foundational steps of math as they learn how to apply concept imagery and numeral imagery to 1) one-to-one numeral/number correspondence, number sense, and how numbers are organized, 2) the acquisition and memorization of math facts, 3) computation of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, and fractions, and 4) developing the critical thinking and reasoning necessary to solve word problems. Study and supervised practice will allow class members to learn to respond to the response to develop sensory-cognitive functions and integrate the On Cloud Nine® steps into any math curriculum or program. Information and techniques are gained through (1) the live Workshop course including presentation, discussion, demonstration, video, program manual, and supervised practice, and (2) Imagery-Language Connection online subscription included with Workshop registration, with access for 12 months to self-paced review modules.

Speaker: Delecia Douroxu

Delecia Douroxu has been with Lindamood-Bell for over two decades and has held a variety of roles and responsibilities. She has extensive experience with the instructional application of the programs authored by the founders of Lindamood-Bell and over 25 years’ experience evaluating, assessing, consulting, and pacing students in the sensory-cognitive functions we address: phonemic awareness, symbol imagery, and concept imagery. She is also well verse with more than 23 years’ experience mentoring instructional staff and providing professional development to educators in the use of the programs Seeing Stars, Visualizing & Verbalizing, LiPS, Talkies, and On Cloud Nine.

Course Objectives

1. Understand the sensory-cognitive factors that underlie the development of language, literacy, and math processing.
2. Understand the gestalt of the learning process through the Dual Coding Theory of cognitive development.
3. Gain knowledge of the role of concept imagery in mathematical reasoning.
4. Gain knowledge of the role of numeral imagery in automaticity in mathematical computation.
5. Gain knowledge of the role of numeral imagery in the development, retention, and application of math facts to computation.
6. Gain knowledge of the role of concept imagery in solving word problems.
7. Acquisition of specific techniques to stimulate numeral imagery for understanding and writing numbers, with emphasis on the numeral repetition in our base-ten system.
8. Acquisition of specific techniques to provide mathematical experiences at the concrete and imaged level for the number line.
9. Acquisition of specific techniques to develop the concepts of the number line, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, place value, decimals, and fractions through concrete experiences.
10. Acquisition of specific techniques to apply concrete experiences to imagery for addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts and utilize numeral imagery to stabilize memorization of math facts.
11. Acquisition of specific techniques to apply the “Concrete to Imagery to Computation” process to the introduction of all basic mathematical concepts and operations.
12. Acquisition of specific techniques to integrate concept and numeral imagery for solving word problems.
13. Acquisition of questioning techniques to apply and integrate imagery and language for general mathematical problem-solving, with emphasis on teaching students how to visualize to think logically in math and problem-solving situations.
