Well with the children I work with I would use Kinsethetic and visual. It would be more hands on for the children. It would be showing how to solve the problem by using materials to the children so they have a visual about what we are talking about.

well with the children I work with I would do a little of both Kinsethetic and visual. it would show them the materials we will be using and what we will be making with them.

there is so many different ways to teach math. I like to use visual and hands on learning.

The best modality for math could be using all three of the learning styles. Small groups are usually best when working with my age group. (2 1/2- 3 1/2 years old) Having something to physically count and count out loud with them or looking at numbers pointing to them as we count out loud.

Each way is used to teach math. I am a visual learner. You should teach math in in difrent ways.

I would use a more hands-on way of learning. You could use something as simple as snack time. Have the children pull out crackers one at a time, have them count to 3 or something. And then when they eat one, ask them how many they have left.

Kids learn better usually through directly manipulating their environment. And meal times are a great time to keep up with learning while they are enjoying the food.

For math you can use all. I would use hands on and visual to teach the kids. Such as counting blocks or how many crackers they have at snack.

I would use a mix of Visual and Kinestetic mode because this will help children understand Math in easier way. First they can visualise a math problem and then they can just solve it.

I would use all three learning styles in learning math by counting grapes of different colors. The lesson would have to be simply explained for the auditory group, the colors of the grapes rolling around would help keep the visual kids engaged, and picking up, sorting, and moving the grapes would benefit the kinesthetic students. And then we would eat them.

I use all three learning styles. Singing or rhythms, picture cards, flash cards, number lines of all kinds, math games, abacus and other objects for counting adding and subtraction.

I believe that to choose a style, the kids in a classroom has to be evaluated to understand their way of learning and most like there's going to be all learning styles in each classroom. So I will choose the 3 learning styles and divide the kids on groups of the same leaning style.

Chelsea Wollgast

Obviously this will depend on how kids learn best, but I would start with visual because often times with math, it is easy to explain in a visual manner. That could be by drawing pictures to show the addition. Then if that doesn't work, we could move into more hands on learning/kinesthetic.

Carolina Zamora

For a topic like math I would use all three learning methods. I have 18 children in my class which means I have lots of different types of learns and I have to acommaate all of them. When I use all three types of learning methods it also helps children spark interest in learning in other ways or in multiple ways which can be beneficial.

Emma Plomell

9/16/2018 09:23:54 pm

I think the best way to teach math is to use all 3 ways. Give clear voice instructions, show the kids what writing it would look like or use graphs, and also using objects they can feel and move to make the concept easier to remember!

Kathryn Frostad

I work with preschoolers and tend to use hands on activities especially with math concepts, which are typically abstract concepts.

Bonana

9/30/2018 11:31:27 am

For math activity and the group of age that I teach (3-6 yrs) I would choose the physical learning style where children are introduced to the lesson through hands on activities that help them gain a concrete understanding first and later more abstract learning will develop from the concrete experiences they have had.

Nicole Mickens

9/30/2018 08:22:15 pm

In order to reach all types of learning styles, I would write the lesson on the board, verbally instruct the lesson as well as use beans and a chart to assist with grasping the concept.

Brogan Foster

10/4/2018 10:40:16 am

For math lessons, I use visual and kinesthetic learning modalities. I believe that these two approaches put together provide the best learning experience for children because they can see what they're learning and then put their hands on it to better understand the concept and how they can apply it to things in real life. At this age, they want to be able to feel and manipulate things on their own in order to learn a concept.

Cindy Bruce

10/8/2018 02:06:48 pm

I prefer using the kinesthetic approach to teaching math. I use pattern blocks, counting bears, Unifix cubes etc. because I have found that when they can touch and explore a concept, they have better recall. Of course, visual learning is part of this process.

Kelly Cochra

10/9/2018 01:35:50 pm

I use visuals, hands on activities and auditory. It's so critical that children learn the fundamentals of math. Hands -on math activities will help students remember the process as well.

Bethany Shoop

10/10/2018 08:26:10 pm

I would use visual and kinesthetic. This allows you as the teacher to be able to show with the charts, graphs etc, while the children would then be able to use a hands on approach.

Lupita Montes

there are so many different types of learners in my daycare so I use visual and kinesthetic. it just helps the children learn in it in different ways .

Ashley

10/14/2018 11:56:44 am

I think it is important to use all three styles of learning: visual, kinesthetic and verbal as each child learns and understands differently

Lira

10/17/2018 01:10:27 pm

When teaching math I will use visual and kinesthetic ,verbal methods.I want the children to hear, see and work hands on during class.

Eileen

10/25/2018 10:10:13 am

I think a good modality for a math lesson would be a kinesthetic lesson. Sometimes math can seem like a very abstract concept, having something tactile to touch and see can help ground some of the concepts for children and adults alike.

Arti

11/5/2018 11:02:53 pm

Math can be taught in many ways but I would prefer the kinesthetic and visual approach as I think math can be better understood using visual and hands on techniques

Starla Franks

11/11/2018 09:32:41 am

The best method for most of my students would be kinesthetic and visual. I work in a Montessori environment and our hands on materials really help to reinforce the math concepts for most children.

Ray

11/14/2018 11:53:18 am

I think it really depends on each child's learning style but i find kinesthetic to work best. Hands on with sorting and counting i feel register better with kids.

cherilee

11/14/2018 01:54:03 pm

I think with younger kids physical and visual would be best.
They need to see the action of counting and have objects to count.

Ekaterina Ostrovskaia

11/14/2018 07:18:37 pm

I would try my best to tailor my lesson to the learning styles of the individuals in my class, of course, but I believe that a combination of visual, and kinesthetic modalities would probably be effective for most classes.

Stacy Bryson

11/17/2018 08:57:14 pm

The best modality for math is using all three learning styles.

Caitlin

11/17/2018 09:19:27 pm

If it were my lesson I would probably try a hands on approach. If I knew I had children in my class who would benefit from a different style of learning I would have my assistant help them more one on one.

Emilee

11/18/2018 11:03:03 am

I would try the hands on approach, so that the children can use manipulatives to help them count. If the student is at a higher level then I would use a visual approach and would use flashcards with them, or write the math problem on the board.

Shantha Pathak link

We use both kinesthetic and visual mode of learning.
We use various math manipulatives like unifix cubes, pattern blocks, flash cards, abacus, wooden beads to master basic arithmetic skills. We use snack time and physical activity time to reinforce math skills. Snacks like cheerios and gold fish can work as great math manipulatives for learning simple counting, addition and subtraction.

Kimberly

It's completely up to the group of children you're working with. I find it's best to incorporate as many learning styles as possible while still making the math lesson (any lesson) fun, inviting and "real" to each individual child. Children need to be able to relate to what they're learning. We need to show them how it's "real" in their world. Teaching them through showing, telling and hands on experiences will help. Use daily moments as "teachable moments". Traffic signs for shapes/colors. Counting food items, friends and family etc.

Ray Anderson link

11/27/2018 01:43:57 pm

I would use a visual as well as a physical tactile such as beads while talking through the steps. I feel this would help all three types of learners without any one set becoming too bored and losing interest in the lesson.

Fang Koh

12/1/2018 01:40:15 pm

I would use visual and kinesthetic for math. We would use bead, marbles and fingers for a more hands on approach.

Nicole Mickens

12/8/2018 09:43:50 pm

I would not stick to just one way of teaching a math lesson. I would use dice or beans to help the child work out the problem, but also have a verbal instruction period, using a white board to write out examples or draw pictures to grasp their attention

KAZEM

12/9/2018 02:31:33 am

the Modality of using visual and kinesthetic Method is better for the children age 2-3 because when we show the them the numbers with graphic and then with hands on method such as flash card or wooden cube block they can easily understand and feels meaning of numbers .

Claudia Molina

12/12/2018 03:34:58 pm

Its important to include a mix of different modalities when teaching, in particular with Math I use visual, auditory and kinesthetic method. I usually have a video that contains a song to learn counting (with a toddler age group) and I follow that with counting different elements in the classroom, that way they move around and using the song they count items one by one.

Sharon

12/12/2018 07:55:59 pm

Working with schoolage children for math, we start with visual and verbal and then work in the kinesthetic and physical method ,because not all children learn the same way. By using alot of on hands learning will help them understand math better too.

Stacey

12/13/2018 01:32:50 pm

I think when giving a math lesson, visual and kinestetic modalities work best. It is helpful for the children to use manipulatives and to also see the process.

Christy

12/19/2018 12:59:43 pm

I work with 1-3 year olds I would use kinetics because they use hands on learns

Morgan

12/19/2018 02:40:01 pm

I use a hands-on way of teaching math. I have found that it is easier for the children to correct their mistakes when they can both see and physically touch the correct outcome. A favorite in my classroom is the colored counting pigs.

Cassandra Gonzalez

12/24/2018 02:51:47 pm

I chose physicla and kinesthetic when it comes to math, just because I feel children would learn better when they can see and have an opportunity to feel what they are learning, this way the method will imprint on their mind and they will remember what they learned.

Jason Kunkel

12/26/2018 12:38:46 pm

a combination of all three ways is prefered. Implementing activities where children can physically do math, while talking to them and seeing the numbers themselves will help because no matter their learning style you will get through to them

Chong H Park

12/26/2018 03:21:30 pm

I would use a mix of kinsethetic and visual. Use small objects to teach children concepts of math.

Ming Deng

Taryn

I would use all three when it comes to teaching a math activity. Explaining and showing them how to do the activity. Then giving them a chance to come and help show how to do the activity and get a chance to explore on their on.

Valerie Martin

12/30/2018 11:15:44 am

Hands on and visual would be what would work best for ME to learn math, but any of the types of learning work. You could explain with words for those kids that need it, use blocks and other such items to give kids a more hands on and physical way to do it. It would depend not only on the kids, but on the age range too, I would think.

Hannah

12/30/2018 11:55:18 am

I would use visual kinesthetics for learning math. Its so much easier for kids to learn math visually and tactically. using cubes and tiles.

Stephanie

12/30/2018 01:17:28 pm

I usually use a combination of all three, but mostly visual and kinesthetic when teaching math in my pre-k classroom. Visual examples I explain followed by hands on experiences with the concepts. I continue to use visuals for reinforcement and keep materials available for a while for experimentation and practice.

Kirsten

12/30/2018 01:51:54 pm

Using a kinesthetic/hands on approach for math is ideal. Number sense is abstract and having children be able to see 10 single cubes can be lines up to form the same length as a 10 rod (for example) is crucial to solid understanding.

Belen felix haros

12/30/2018 02:00:21 pm

there is so many different ways to teach math. I like to use the hands and visual so it can be more fun for the kids

Kaitlynn Caroline Smart

12/31/2018 10:03:48 am

We use visual and kinesthetic learning mainly in our math lessons for our primary classrooms. We make concepts as hands on as we possibly can. Being able to touch an object makes the learning concrete and helps transfer the concepts that much more solidly with a firm grasp of the understanding.

Taylor Fiorini

12/31/2018 03:32:05 pm

I feel that visual learning would be good for a math activity. I would choose this one as I am, myself, a more of a visual learner. Being able to see it will help me process what I am learning.

Holly

12/31/2018 04:06:34 pm

I would use a visual and hands on for early math. Using manipulatives or cheerios/crackers for counting and basic numbers

Karen Loderhose

1/10/2019 09:25:51 am

Hands on and visual learning are the methods I like to use with my 3 and 4 year old class. I use alot of differant kinds counters and trays. I think these methods are fun for the kids. Learning should be fun!!!

Maryam

2/10/2019 01:09:08 pm

I plan a math (adding and subtracting) activity with a small group of children. I involve children through the process. I ask each child to listen to my question "Add or take specific numbers of pencils to the pile or from the pile " I let him/her to understand and operate.
In this way three different types of learner will learn the concept of adding and subtracting.

deanna jennings

2/20/2019 10:48:37 am

With the group of kids I work with I would most use the Kinsethetic style to teach them as I found the more hands on they are the faster they learn. We would also use the sight because showing them how to do it then having them do it hands on helps alot in my group of children.

Alissa

A good modality is to teach your children using a variety of visual, audio, and sensory practices. This accommodates children who prefer one learning style over the other. Also, it allows for children to grow their learning styles if they do not particularly favor one.

Manisha prasad

3/16/2019 02:25:55 am

For kids who are under 5 years old ,visual and verbal and then work on the kinesthetic and physical method ,because eves child is different and they learn the in different way. By using a lot of on hands learning will help them understand math better too.

Lindsay fraser

3/27/2019 01:30:58 pm

I work with children aged 3 to 5 so would defiantly prefer to use the kinesthetic and visual methods together. Children need counters and materials to manipulate themselves and visual cues in order to fully understand and practice the model being taught

Manisha prasad

4/28/2019 05:29:45 pm

For Math I will use all three methods but I will use mainly kinesthetic, multi-sensory approach to teaching math and literacy. It incorporates physical exercise, stretching, cross-body movements, yoga and visually pleasing floor mats designed to encourage students to practice concepts. Our program allows students to physically hop, walk, crawl, dance or touch the mats and banners as they learn. As a result, students use more learning modalities (visual, auditory, motor, and kinesthetic) when practicing.

Dharitri Desai

5/7/2019 09:39:14 am

I usually use all the three methods for math concepts, namely visual, auditory and kinesthetic. I read books involving math concepts, I have posters on the wall with different concepts, sing rhymes and we do activities like matching, sorting, counting etc. I believe repetition is the key in learning new concepts.

Sandy Davis

5/10/2019 09:01:45 am

I think all three methods can be used for math but with my current group visual and kinesthetic seem to work best so those are what I use. We have a white board we use frequently as well as lots of different hands on activities.
